Crash on south Down road

The Ambulance Service was getting ready to dispatch a large number of crews to the scene, but they have since been stood down.

Reports of the incident this evening (Wednesday) were sketchy.

The exact vehicle types involved are not known, however the Ambulance Service initially received a report that it was a bus and a car.

However, the Ambulance Service said that it happened on the main Newry-to-Warrenpoint road, and that one male had been taken to Daisy Hill hospital.

Upon arrival, he did not need to be admitted.

It comes after a child was killed in the north of the county after a traffic accident.
