Two men from Castlederg have been killed in a car crash in Donegal.

The pair from the Co Tyrone town died and three other people were injured in a two-vehicle collision near to the border with Northern Ireland.

The accident happened on the N15 road at Liscooley near Castlefinn at around 10pm on Friday.

The  men have been named as Ryan Glenn and Gordy Galbraith, both aged in their 30s. They are said to have been friends travelling in the same car.

Gardai said that a man and woman in their 70s, who were travelling in the other vehicle, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

"However, we would appeal to anybody who was driving between Stranorlar and Castlefin from 9.30pm to 10pm and may have witnessed anything to contact gardaí."
