THE sister of one of the men who was travelling in a stolen car when it crashed in north Belfast said her family has been left “heartbroken”.

The woman said her 19-year-old brother is critically ill in hospital.

She said her brother, who is from north Belfast, had “only got into the car 10 mins” before the crash happened.

She said he had been “pulled” from the back of the car.

Writing on Facebook, she said her brother is “lying in a critical condition now and my family are heartbroken with no words”.

She also asked for people to say a “quick prayer” for her brother and “please God will give him the strength to come out of this and come back to us”.
