A 16-year-old has been killed in a road crash in Belfast that has left two others injured, including a 10-year-old – who is in critical condition.
The collision occurred at Nutts Corner on Sunday morning just before 8.00am and involved a black Volkswagen Golf and a silver Volkswagen Passat.
A PSNI spokesperson said: “Officers attended alongside emergency partners, and a male passenger in the Passat, who was aged 16 and from the Tipperary area, passed away at the scene.
“The driver of the Passat sustained minor injuries, while two other passengers are still in hospital, including a 10-year-old child who remains in a critical condition.
