Two men who died following a two-vehicle crash in Co Armagh on Friday afternoon were a 'loving father' and 'cherished son'. Named locally as dad Peter Devlin and his son Loughlin Devlin, they passed away in what's been described as an 'unimaginable tragedy' that also left another four people injured - including a baby and a woman whose condition was described as 'critical' by the PSNI following the collision.
The crash, involving an Audi and a Mercedes, happened on the Killylea Road in Co Armagh and was reported to emergency services shortly before 12.45pm on December 27. Requiem Mass for the late father-and-son will take place on New Year's Day at noon, in the Church of St Joseph, Tynan. Parish priest, Father Sean Moore, said prayers would be said for the men and their family on Sunday evening. He told the BBC: 'It is an awful shock to the community, the community is in total shock.' Loughlin Devlin was a married father-of-one who lived in Milford. His father, Peter, was a father-of-four.

Peter is described in a family notice as 'beloved husband to Ursula (nee Guy) and loving father of Frankie and the late Loughlin and son of the late Sean and Brigid'.
