A TEENAGE BOY has died after a collision involving a scrambler and a lorry in Co Tyrone.<\/p>\n

The collision happened on Thursday at 8.15pm in the Derryloughan Road area of Coalisland.<\/p>\n

PSNI officers attended the scene, alongside personnel from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, and medical treatment was provided.<\/p>\n

The teenager was taken to hospital but later died from his injuries.<\/p>\n

The deceased has been named as 16-year-old Connor Magee Campbell from the Clonoe area.<\/p>\n

The PSNI has appealed for information from witnesses or anyone who may have captured dash-cam or other footage of the incident.<\/p>\n

Local SDLP councillor Malachy Quinn said the area is \u201cshocked and deeply saddened.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe loss of a young man with his whole life ahead of him is a devastating tragedy, and it is impossible to understand the heartbreak being experienced by his family and friends,\u201d said Quinn.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, a man in his 40s has died following a separate collision with a lorry in the south of the county.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At around 12.40pm on Friday, a collision happened between a car and a lorry in the Crossowen Road area of Clogher, Co Tyrone.<\/p>\n

Medical treatment was provided at the scene to a number of people and a man in his 40s, who was the driver of the car, died a short time later from his injuries.<\/p>\n

The deceased has since been named as 45-year-old Damien Paul Bintley from Holywood, Co Down.<\/p>\n
