Eight-Year-Old Dies In Co Down Collision

An eight-year-old boy has died following a road traffic collision in Banbridge, Co Down.

The child died following a two-car collision on the Aughnacloy Road at about 5.20pm on Saturday, 21 July.

A man, a woman and another child remain in a serious condition in hospital.

According to reports, the child was a pupil at Carrick Primary School in Lurgan. In a post on their Facebook page, the school said: "As a school we are devastated to hear of Callum's death. Callum was a precious part of both his class and our whole school family in Carrick. We remember him in particular for his great smile, a love of football and a determination to learn so that he could achieve his goal of being a marine biologist. As a school community we are praying continually for his family circle, who were so obviously devoted to both boys."
