A woman and her daughter have been killed in a road crash in Co Antrim while a second girl was seriously injured.
It is understood the collision involved a quad bike and a tractor yesterday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to the scene of the crash on Whitepark Road in Ballycastle at around 4.45pm.
The woman and the young girl were pronounced dead at the scene and a second girl was airlifted to hospital in Belfast in a critical condition.
The PSNI closed the road on the Causeway Coastal Route for a time but it has since been reopened.

A full investigation is under way and officers have appealed to anyone who witnessed the collision or captured the incident on their dash cam to contact the PSNI.
DUP MLA Mervyn Storey described the tragedy as one of the darkest days that they have seen in the Ballycastle community in a long time.
Mr Storey said the deaths have stunned everyone, not only in the community, but right across Northern Ireland.
"The family are well known in the local area, and the thoughts and prayers of us all are with Hannah who remains in hospital, and we trust that she will make a recovery. And of course, we remember her father, whose sorrow is incalculable at this time," he said.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they seek to come to terms with this very dark providence. A farming community is always a community that is very close. And they all knew each other. And this was certainly the case in this particular accident. And everyone involved in this has to be thought about at this time."
Sinn Féin Councillor Cara McShane said the people in the community are still reeling and trying to come to terms with the devastating news.
"Then incident on the outskirts of Ballycastle caused shockwaves across the community in the wider rural North Antrim area and in a time which is so used to welcoming hundreds and thousands of visitors and tourists at this time of the year has been enveloped in just sadness and stillness and a sense of numbness.
"And particularly helplessness at this time, given the restrictions on trying to reach out to people. At this time it just compounds the grief felt. But our thoughts and prayers and everything that we can do, and the weeks and months and the dark days ahead, this community will rally around this young family."
