The crash came less than 24 hours after three teenagers were killed in Castlereagh, on the outskirts of east Belfast.

Nineteen-year-old twin brothers and their friend, aged 18, all died in the single vehicle accident on the Ballygowan Road early on Saturday morning. All three victims are believed to be from the east Belfast area.

The four weekend deaths mean 39 people have been killed on Northern Ireland's roads this year — up from 34 for the same period 12 months ago.
