Road Tragedy Statistics Mount
Following an earlier road tragedy in Co Antrim which saw a 28-year-old motorcyclist fatally injured in a crash, a woman has now died in hospital after being critically injured in a road accident in Co Down on Sunday.
The accident happened on Church Street Downpatrick at about 7am.
The victim, named as 19-year-old Jenny Rowden from the town is believed have been a passenger in the car which left the road and struck a lamppost.
A man who was also in the car was taken to Downpatrick Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

The Co Antrim crash happened on Monday on the Ballymullock Road, Larne, when the man's motorcycle and a car were in collision.
These latest deaths brings the number of people who have lost their lives on Northern Ireland's roads to 64 so far this year.
Meanwhile, a seven-year-old girl has been taken to hospital following a hit-and-run in east Belfast.
