Two teenagers have died following a road traffic collision in the Doogary Road area of Omagh, co. Tyrone last night.
A male (19) and female (17) died in the accident on the Doogary Road near Omagh shortly before 10pm last night.
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 the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service.
“A 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl sadly died at the scene.
“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."
The Doogary Road, which was closed overnight, has now re-opened.
The road is one of Northern Ireland's deadliest, claiming the lives of over 50 people since 2006. A scheme was announced 17 years ago, work has not yet started on the project, which has been beset by numerous delays and legal challenges.
