"When you are first arriving on scene at something like this there are so many things you are processing in your head.

"Was certainly a major relief to find the driver of this one with minor injuries.

"There is a huge amount of surface water on the roads this morning. Coagh to Stewartstown is especially bad.

"A lot of potential out there today for more like this, don’t be the next one to aquaplane, be prepared that around the next corner may be a mini lake."
