The motorcyclist who died in a crash in County Tyrone on Saturday evening was 19-year-old Niall O'Hagan.

The accident happened close to his family home near the village of Mountfield.

Mr O'Hagan was one of two motorcyclists killed on Northern Ireland's Roads at the weekend.

Robert Canning, 39, was killed after his motorbike collided with a caravan on the Priestlands Road near Bushmills on Sunday afternoon.

Another person was seriously injured in an accident on the Portaferry Road in Newtownards on Sunday night.

Sinn Fein assembly member Barry McElduff said Mr O'Hagan's family had suffered a number of bereavements in recent years.

"Unfortunately tragedy has visited Niall's family all too often in the past, with the murder of his mother Kathleen, the death of his father Paddy and also the death in a fire of young Thomas, his younger brother.

"So the large circle of young people who were Niall's friends throughout Tyrone, especially mid-Tyrone, will be deeply affected at his death," he said.

The two deaths brought to seven the number of people who have been killed on NI's roads in a week.
