The Bus Eireann coach and a Ford Kuga were involved in the crash on the Derrylin Road near Enniskillen.

The two occupants of the Ford Kuga were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

There were no reports of any serious injuries to the driver or passengers of the bus.

A PSNI spokesperson outlined how their investigations are continuing and anyone with digital footage or information are urged to come forward.

The coach involved was Bus Eireann’s Dublin to Donegal service.

Confirming the crash, a statement from the transport company added: “The safety of our passengers, staff and the public is of paramount importance to Bus Eireann.

“We will provide any assistance required to the relevant authorities.”

UUP MLA Diane Armstrong said she was “deeply saddened” by the tragedy.

She added: “My thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with the families and loved ones affected by this devastating loss.

“The Derrylin Road is a busy route with significant north-south traffic and may require the Department for Infrastructure to consider any new measures that could improve safety along this route.”

Meanwhile, a man has died after a collision with a vehicle in east Belfast.

Police have appealed for information about the incident involving a Mercedes Vito on the Upper Newtownards Road at around 10.40pm on Saturday.

A PSNI spokesperson said: “Our officers attended alongside our colleagues from partner emergency services.

“Sadly the pedestrian was pronounced deceased at hospital a short time later.

“Collision Investigation Unit detectives are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the collision, and would like to hear from witnesses or anyone who may have captured dashcam or other footage which may assist with our inquiries.

“If you can assist, please contact Collision Investigation Unit on 101, quoting reference 1677 of 29/11/25.”
