Road Users Urged To Take More Care Following Serious Incidents
Police in Ards and North Down are appealing for all road users to take more care following two serious incidents on Monday 15 June.
A multiple car collision occurred on the Ballyblack Road in Ards and a number of people had to be cut from their vehicles.
In a separate incident, a young boy was hit by a vehicle on the High Bangor Road in Donaghadee.
The injuries in both incidents are not believed to be life-threatening.
PSNI District Commander Superintendent Brian Kee said: "I want drivers to slow down, do not drive after drinking or taking drugs, wear a seatbelt, drive with greater care and attention and don't use mobile phones while driving.
"Pedestrians must pay attention to their environment, which means not getting distracted by friends or mobile devices, or being especially careful when walking on country roads by walking against the traffic flow or by wearing highly visible clothing."
