The man who died following a two-vehicle crash was Damien Paul Bintley from Holywood.

The incident happened at about 12:40 BST on Friday when the vehicle that he was driving, a white MG HS car collided with a Volvo lorry on the Crossowen Road in Clogher.

Police said that Northern Ireland Ambulance Service provided treatment to a number of the people at the scene. However, the 45-year-old died from his injuries a short time later.

It's the second fatal collision to occur in County Tyrone in as many days after a teenager died in a crash near Coalisland.
