The second of three people who died in the collision between Dungannon and Cookstown on Boxing Day has been named locally.

She was Jennifer Elizabeth Acheson, who lived at Tullylagan Road, Sandholes, near to Cookstown.

Mrs Acheson had been in one of two cars involved in the collision on Monday afternoon.

The wife of the late Walter Acheson, she was mother to five – Terry, James, Tracey, Wayne and Michael.

She was also a dearly loved mother-in-law, grandmother and sister, with former Strangford Ulster Unionist MP and Armagh native John Taylor – now Lord Kilclooney – among her siblings.

Mrs Acheson was one of two women who died.
