Four people have been taken to hospital following a two-vehicle road traffic collision on the Tempo Road outside Enniskillen this afternoon (Tuesday).

The crash occurred in the Largy Crossroads area near Garvary, prompting the closure of the road in both directions as emergency services attended the scene.

A spokesperson for the PSNI said police remain at the scene and diversions are in place.

The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) confirmed it received a 999 call at 1.16pm. Four emergency ambulances, an ambulance officer and the charity Air Ambulance with HEMS were dispatched.

Following assessment and initial treatment at the scene, three people were taken by ambulance to South West Acute Hospital, while a fourth patient was airlifted to Altnagelvin Hospital.

Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes.
