Elderly man killed in road traffic collision

The M1 was reduced to one lane country-bound at the Saintfield Road junction while delays were also reported on the A1 headed for the Sprucefield junction in Lisburn.
The city bound lane of the M1 has since been reopened to traffic.
Police have appealed for any witnesses to the accident to contact them on 028 9065 0222.
