Kieran McCarthy MLA said: “This is simply devastating for the families of those who died in this tragedy and the community is reeling at this horrendous news.
“Three more families will be without treasured loved ones this Christmas. This is heartbreaking and I want to extend my deepest sympathies to them.
“Our roads have claimed three more lives and we must continue to do all we can to increase road safety and prevent any further tragic news of this nature.”
