<p>The town of Clones in Ireland is in mourning after Kiea McCann (17) and her best friend&nbsp;Dlava Mohamed (16), both students at&nbsp;Largy College, died in a horrible car crash on their way to an end-of-year school dance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A car carrying five people, including the teenagers, crashed after leaving the N54 road, near the Irish border and hit a tree around 18:45 local time. While the two high schoolers were killed, the other three suffered injuries.</p>

<p>The car was being driven by a 60-year-old man who is in critical condition, having been admitted to the&nbsp;Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. One of the injured is&nbsp;Dlava's 18-year-old sister who remains in critical but stable condition. Meanwhile, an 18-year-old man continues to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Postmortems were completed on the bodies of the two deceased, the results of which are not being released for operational reasons.</p>

<p>Supt Patrick O'Connell described the incident as "particularly traumatic" for all those involved.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Having attended the scene last night, it was particularly harrowing, particularly the chaos that emanates when such an incident happens," said O'Connell.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The fire service, the ambulance service were particularly brilliant. Without them we wouldn’t have been able to manage this incident," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An investigation has been opened into the accident and a number of&nbsp;other previous crashes on the same road might help authorities ascertain the true cause of the accident.</p>
