An 18-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a road crash in County Antrim that left a teenage girl critically injured.

The collision occurred between a black Hyundai Santa Fe and a blue Renault Clio on the Slaughterford Road in Whitehead, just before 21:00 on Monday evening.

The man, who it is thought was driving a third vehicle, a silver Vauxhall Corsa, was detained by police on suspicion of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily injury.

A 17-year-old girl, believed to have been a passenger in the Clio, was taken to hospital. Police said she remains in a critical condition.

A 39-year-old woman also received minor injuries during the incident. She was taken to hospital for injuries that are not thought to be life-threatening.

The Slaughterford Road has now reopened after it was closed on Tuesday morning.

Police would like to speak to anyone who saw the incident to contact them in Newtownabbey on the non-emergency number 101.
