The driver of the lorry was physically uninjured in the crash.

Local UUP councillor Victor Warrington said the news was devastating for the local community.

“I know her family and her parents very well, it’s such a tragedy, she only got married six months ago and she had a wee child as well.

People are still coming to terms with what happened, my thoughts are with the family at this time. She has a younger brother and sister as well and it’s just devastating for the whole family.”
