A teenager has been killed in a two-vehicle road crash in Portadown in the early hours of Sunday morning, police said.

The 18-year-old has been named by police as Morgan Henry from the Tandragee area.

Inspector Cherith Adair, from the Collision Investigation Unit, said that police received a report of a two-vehicle road collision on the Dungannon Road at about 1.40am on Sunday.

She said the crash involved a blue BMW 330 and a red Vauxhall Corsa.

“Officers along with colleagues from other emergency services attended but sadly Morgan, the driver of the Corsa, was declared deceased at the scene,” Inspector Adair said.

“Four occupants of the BMW have received medical treatment following the collision. The Dungannon Road was closed for a number of hours but has now reopened.

“Our officers at the Collision Investigation Unit are examining the circumstances of the collision and we would ask anyone who may have witnessed what happened or anyone with CCTV, dashcam or other footage that could assist with our inquiries, to contact us on 101.”
