Jim Allister MP said:
“Two more deaths on the A26 add to the tragic toll on this road.
“I wish to convey condolences on behalf of myself and the wider community to the families of the two elderly brothers who died. Once more great grief has been caused by deaths on this section of road adjacent to Ballymoney.
“Whereas some of the other Ballymoney junctions with the A26 are governed by roundabouts, which generally are safer, the junction where this accident happened is a T junction. In my view there is a strong case to convert this Ballymena Road junction into a roundabout.”
