A road traffic collision in south-east Mayo has claimed the lives of two young males, a teenage boy and a man in his late teens.

The crash occurred on the N83 in the townland of Levallyroe, between Ballyhaunis and Cloonfad after 8 p.m. last night, involving a tractor and a car.

Another teenage boy, who was also in the car, sustained serious injuries and is currently receiving treatment in hospital.
