Former Ireland international David Tweed killed in Co Antrim crash

Former Ireland rugby star David Tweed has died aged 61 following a horror motorcycle crash in his native country.

The former Ulster rugby star and member of the Orange Order was riding a motorbike when he was involved in a collision at around 4.30pm.

In 2016, Mr Tweed had his convictions for child sex abuse quashed by the Court of Appeal in Belfast.

He was then released from custody where he had been serving an eight-year sentence.
