A man has been charged after an eight-year-old girl and a man were seriously injured in a collision in Co Tyrone.
The crash involved a van and a quad bike on the Edergole Road in Omagh before 7.05pm yesterday.
Chief Inspector McConville said the driver of the Peugeot Partner van, a 26-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of a number of offences.
Police said a 26-year-old man had been charged with driving with excess alcohol in breath, two counts of causing grievous bodily injury by dangerous driving, and a number of other related offences.
He is to appear before Enniskillen Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.
“A man, aged in his 40s, and eight-year-old female child, both sustained serious injuries and were taken onward to hospital for further treatment,” Mr McConville said.
“The driver of the van, a 26-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of offences including driving with excess alcohol in breath and causing grievous bodily injury by driving carelessly with excess alcohol.”
The road has reopened after investigations were carried out, and the PSNI is appealing for anyone with information to make contact.
