TWO young people died in separate road accidents at the weekend as traffic fatalities continue to soar above the corresponding period in 2004.

The victim of a two-vehicle daylight crash in Co Meath yesterday morning was named as John Larkin, aged 23, from Castlelawns, Summerhill.

On Saturday night, English-born Linda Doomes, aged 22, who had been living in Co Wexford, died after a collision in Co Tipperary.
