A man in his 20's has been arrested in Cork as part of an investigation into a car crash last Thursday in which two teenagers lost their lives.

The man was detained by detectives on the Northside of the city shortly before 11am this morning.

He is being detained at Gurranabraher Garda Station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.
