Funerals for road crash teens

THE funerals were held on Saturday for two teenagers killed in separate road crashes last week. Eighteen-year-old architecture student Enda Dolan was laid to rest following Requiem Mass at St Mary's Church in Killyclogher, outside Omagh.

The Queen's University Belfast student was killed when he was struck by a van as he walked back to the Elms student village in the early hours of Wednesday.

A guard of honour was formed by school children and members of the local GAA club when his body was brought into the church.

A letter from his 16-year-old sister Dervla was read in which she said he was "everything a girl could wish for in an older brother". Meanwhile, mourners packed Killykergan Gospel Hall in Garvagh, Co Derry to pay respects to Emma Scott (17) who died following a two-vehicle crash in Coleraine on Wednesday morning.

Ms Scott from Aghadowey was a granddaughter of well-known Coleraine fruit and vegetable wholesaler Sydney Scott.

Two people travelling in the Audi car which was in collision with her Mini on the Creamery Road were treated in hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
