The accident happened when a car, that had been parked on Peel Street, rolled backwards at speed down a hill after the driver and her passenger had just got out.

The car slammed into a lamp-post on Staunton Street, injuring four males and four females in the process, including the deceased.

Two remain in hospital. One is in critical condition and the other stable.
