Tributes are pouring in after an 18 year-old man died three days after a crash in Co Armagh.
Daniel McCallister, from the Tandragee area, died from injuries he sustained in the Markethill crash on Sunday evening.
He had been driving when his blue Volkswagen Jetta collided with another car, a blue Volkswagen Touran, on the Cladymilltown Road shortly before 10.45pm.
The man driving the other car remains in a critical condition in hospital.
There were no passengers in either vehicle.
Roads Inspector Cherith Adair from the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s collision investigation unit said: “My detectives are investigating the circumstances of the collision and would like to hear from witnesses or anyone who may have captured dash-cam or other footage which could assist with our inquiries".
Daniel's death notice describes that he was the much loved brother of Sarah, Jack, Kathryn and Samuel, dear brother-in-law of Adam, cherished grandson of Jackie and Eileen and a dear uncle and nephew.
Childhood friend Sam Reaney shared some heartbreaking photos of Daniel in a tribute online, saying "Fly high Danny boy".
"You’ll be missed by so many, take it easy and never stop being the character you always were. Until we meet again," Sam said.
The principal and vice principal of Daniel's former school, Markethill High, extended their sympathies to Daniel's family.
"The McCallister Family are extremely well known in this area and there is much sadness and shock within the local community," the school staff said in a post on Facebook.
"We will continue to keep Mr and Mrs McCallister, Sarah, Jack, Kathryn and Samuel (all past pupils of MHS) in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time".
Daniel's funeral service will take place in St. John’s Parish Church, Mullabrack on Sunday at 2.30pm, followed by a private committal in the adjoining churchyard.
