Four others, including a baby, were taken to hospital for treatment after the two-vehicle collision outside Killylea on Friday.

A woman remained in hospital in a critical condition on Saturday.

Police received a report shortly before 12.45pm on Friday of the collision involving a dark grey Audi and a black Mercedes on the Killylea Road.

Inspector Cherith Adair, from the PSNI’s Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Officers attended, alongside our colleagues from partner emergency services.

“Both men died at the scene. Four others, including a baby, were taken to hospital for medical treatment.

“One of the women sustained serious injuries and remains in hospital in a critical condition at this time.
