A 36-year-old man has died following a two-vehicle road traffic collision in Co Tyrone.
The crash, between a white Audi A6 and silver Nissan Micra on the A5 Omagh Road, was reported to police shortly before 10.15pm on Monday night.
Chief Inspector Simpson from the PSNI’s Collision Investigation Unit said the collision took place in the Garvaghy area.
"Officers responded to the collision alongside colleagues from other emergency services. Sadly, the driver of the Nissan Micra was pronounced deceased at the scene.
"Medical treatment was provided to the three occupants of the Audi A6 who were then taken onward to hospital for treatment to injuries not believed to be life-threatening."
The Omagh Road was closed in both directions between Ballygawley and Omagh while police conducted a forensic examination overnight and into Tuesday morning.
Police are urging anyone who can help with their investigation to come forward.
"Our enquiries are continuing, and we would appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have digital footage which could assist with our investigation, to contact the Collision Investigation Unit on 101, quoting reference number 1578 23/02/26,” said Chief Insp Simpson.
This latest tragedy is the fourth death on the roads in the Co Tyrone area in just a few days. On Saturday night, two men and a woman lost their lives in a three-vehicle collision in Moy.
