Police have confirmed the names of two men who sadly died following a road traffic collision in Ballymoney.
The crash occurred on the Frosses Road at 1pm on Friday 25 October.
The men were brothers, 75-year-old Samuel Holmes and 82-year-old Desmond Holmes from the Ballymoney area.
Police said the collision involved a car and a lorry.
The Frosses Road is considered one of Northern Ireland’s most notorious roads.
The car’s driver died at the scene, while his passenger passed away later in hospital.
North Antrim MP Jim Allister said the latest deaths added “to the tragic toll on this road”.
“I wish to convey condolences on behalf of myself and the wider community to the families of the two elderly brothers who died,” he said.
“Once more great grief has been caused by deaths on this section of road adjacent to Ballymoney.”
Mr Allister said the accident happened at a T-junction.
“In my view there is a strong case to convert this Ballymena Road junction into a roundabout,” he added.
DUP councillor Mervyn Storey said the community was in shock.
“To hear this news is just heart-wrenching because there are families today who will be devastated,” he told the Belfast Telegraph.
“Any death is extremely sad, and especially so when you have senior citizens who have lost their lives.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the deceased and all those affected by this tragic incident.”
Mr Storey said the Frosses Road had a history of serious accidents.
“Over the years there have been a number of fatalities on that road,” he added.
“Not that many weeks ago we had a fatality which involved a lorry as well.”
Officers from the Collision Investigation Unit continue to examine the circumstances of the collision, and would reiterate the appeal to anyone who may have witnessed what happened or to anyone with CCTV, dash-cam or other footage that could assist with enquiries, to contact police on 101 quoting reference number 757 25/10/24.
