(about 12 hours later) | |
Two teenagers have been killed and another critically injured when a car crashed into a tractor and trailer in County Tyrone. | |
The collision happened on the Killyclogher Road, between Omagh and Cookstown, shortly after 1500 GMT on Thursday. | |
The scene of the accident remained cordoned off overnight but the road has since reopened to traffic. | |
SDLP councillor Josephine Deehan said the local community was "in shock". | |
"The driving conditions were hazardous, the roads were icy, temperatures were sub-zero," she added. | |
"Its very very sad that just when we had safely gotten over Christmas and the new year, that these young men have lost their lives." | |
Sinn Fein councillor Anne Marie Fitzgerald said the deaths had stunned people in the Omagh area. | |
"From where the accident was, the fellows lived locally about a mile up the road. | |
"They were heavily involved in a GAA team from what I can gather. | |
"One worked in a shop near the scene. Everybody is devastated," she said. | |
Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the crash to contact them. |
