Statement by TUV Councillor Timothy Gaston:
“I am deeply saddened to hear that the accident on the Duneany Road, Glarryford, has resulted in the death of a young man and woman. One can only imagine the pain which has been visited upon their loved ones.
“The air ambulance along with ambulances crews, fire brigade and police arrived on the scene but unfortunately there was nothing they could do.
“We do not know the circumstances of this accident but once again it is a reminder of how dangerous the roads can be. I would appeal for all road users to take extra care when travelling. We have already had more than enough tragedy and I don’t want to see any more lives cut short.”
