A 21-year-old man has died following a two-car collision in Co Tyrone.

The man was driving on the Pomeroy Road in Cookstown when his vehicle collided with another shortly after 6.45am.

A woman was hospitalised with injuries.

The road had closed for a forensic examination but has since reopened.

Inspector Cherith Adair of the PSNI's Collision Investigation Unit said: "Shortly after 6.45am, we received a report of a collision involving a grey Seat Leon and a grey Volkswagen Bora on the Pomeroy Road.

"Our officers attended alongside emergency service partners, however the male driver of one of the vehicles was sadly pronounced deceased at the scene.

"A woman was also transferred to hospital for treatment for her injuries.

"The Pomeroy Road, which had been closed at its junctions with the Drum Road and Drumnacross Road, as we conducted a forensic examination, has now re-opened.

"Our enquiries are continuing, and we would appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have digital footage which could assist with our investigation, to contact the Collision Investigation Unit on 101, quoting reference number 235 of 10/10/25."
