Five people have been hospitalised following a crash in the south Antrim area.
The crash happened yesterday at around 11.05am and involved a Ford Kuga, Citroen C5 and a BMW.
It happened on the Moira Road, just south of the village of Glenavy, with the nearest junction being the Crewe Park Road.
In a statement, the PSNI said: “Officers attended the scene, along with colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance and Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service.
“Five people – including four adults and a child – were subsequently taken to hospital for treatment to their injuries, which are not believed to be life-threatening.
“The Moira Road remains closed, with diversions in place.
“Our enquiries are ongoing and anyone who witnessed what happened or has any information which might assist – including dash-cam or other footage – is asked to contact police using our witness appeal form at https://reporting.psni.police.uk/appeals, quoting reference 433 of 19/09/26, or to call us on 101.
