The victim of a fatal four vehicle crash near Cookstown last night has been named locally as businessman Raymond Turkington.
Mr Turkington was in his 80s and owned Turkington Interiors on the Sweep Road.
The crash involving a black Mini car, a Volvo lorry, a Mercedes Goods vehicle and a Renault Kangoo happened at around 5pm yesterday evening.
Most shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic death of Raymond Turkington. Such terrible news. I could not believe it. My sincere condolences to his wife Hillary and their children, and the wider family circle. May they be strengthened at this sad time. https://t.co/rupbNtoo9I
