A woman is in a critical condition following a two-vehicle collision in Co Derry that saw another adult and three children injured.

Police are appealing for information following the collision which took place at around 8.55pm on Sunday, November 10, on Oaklee Road in Magherafelt, involving a black VW Golf and blue VW Tiguan.

The emergency services were called to the scene of the incident, with the driver of the VW Golf, a woman aged in her 30s, was found to have suffered serious injuries and remains in a critical condition in hospital.

A young child who was in the vehicle also suffered injuries and remains in a stable condition while a man in his 20s who was in the car was uninjured. A woman in her 40s, who was the driver of the VW Tiguan, and two children in the vehicle also sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
