A young man (19) and a teenage girl (17) have died in a crash on the A5 in County Tyrone.
It happened last night on the Doogary Road in Omagh.
PSNI Inspector Cherith Adair, from the Collision Investigation Unit, said, "We received a report of a single vehicle road traffic collision at around 9.50pm, involving a blue BMW. Officers attended, alongside colleagues from NIAS.”
“A 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl sadly died at the scene.”
“The Doogary Road, which was closed overnight, has now re-opened.”
“Our investigation is continuing, and we are appealing to anyone who was travelling in the area and has dash-cam footage, to contact the Collision Investigation Unit on 101, and quote reference number 1806 of 30/04/24."
Plans to upgrade the A5 have faced delays since the project was first agreed in 2007.
