Sadly, a 16-year-old boy from Co. Tipperary has died following a two-vehicle road traffic collision in Belfast, which also left two others injured, including a 10-year-old child in a critical condition.
The dead boy has been named locally as Callum Hutchinson, who is originally from Borrisokane in North Co. Tipperary.
The incident occurred on the Belfast Road at Nutts Corner yesterday, Sunday morning, 26th April, shortly before 8:00am. The collision involved a black Volkswagen Golf and a silver Volkswagen Passat.
A spokesperson for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) confirmed that emergency services attended the scene, where the teenage passenger in the Passat was pronounced dead.
The driver of the Passat sustained minor injuries. Two additional passengers remain in hospital, including a 10-year-old child who is in critical condition.
The driver of the Volkswagen Golf has been arrested on suspicion of multiple motoring offences.
The Belfast Road, which had been closed to facilitate investigations, has since reopened.
