Three men have died after a crash between a lorry and a car in Tyrone this morning.
All three men were in their 20s, while a fourth has been taken to hospital.
The crash took place on the Omagh Road in Garvaghy; PSNI have since sealed it off in both directions.
A spokesperson for the police said:
“Inquiries are continuing and anyone who was in the area at the time and may have witnessed the incident or who has dashcam footage or any other information, should contact police on 101 quoting reference number 240 27/12/21.”
Heartbreaking news this morning that three young men have lost their lives in a fatal road collision in Garvaghy.
My thoughts and prayers are with their families, friends and local community.
