The Great Northern Road in Omagh remains closed in both directions hours after the second serious road traffic collision in Co Tyrone in as many days.

No details have yet been released about the latest incident, which happened close to the Gortrush Industrial Estate on Tuesday.

But it is understood to have involved a pedestrian and a vehicle.

Emergency services remain at the scene, which was also attended by Northern Ireland’s Air Ambulance.

It comes a day after a couple in their 70s died in a crash involving their car and a lorry on the Doogary Road, also in Omagh.
