It followed a social media post of a gritter lorry on its side at the location and urging people to be careful.

The department added that Church Road from Lower Ballyboley Road to Lismenary Road has been closed due to ice.

“Road users in this area are advised to exercise particular caution when travelling due to the risk of ice.”
