Two rural communities in County Mayo have been left devastated after two men in their 20s died in a fatal road traffic accident last night.
The men have been named as Stephen Brennan, 25, from Bohola County Mayo, originally from County Donegal, and Martin Murphy, 27, from Knock.
The friends died when the silver Volkswagen Golf they were travelling in collided with an articulated truck just before midnight on Wednesday night at Facefield on the N60 Balla to Claremorris road.
