The two young men who were killed in a road accident in Co Armagh yesterday morning have been described as fun-loving and a credit to their families and the community.

Andrew Gass and Mark Hutcheson, both 17-year-old engineering students, died after their car left the Cladymilltown Road between Markethill and Newtownhamilton at around 8.30am.

The pair were travelling to college in Portadown when their Vauxhall Astra left the road. Their deaths bring the number of people killed on Northern Ireland’s roads already in 2016 to five.
