Teenage girl dies in road accident

A teenager has died following a road accident in Co Antrim on Tuesday.

The 15-year-old girl, who has not yet been named, died after being hit by an articulated lorry while trying to cross four lanes of traffic on the M22 at Moneynick, near Toomebridge at around 5pm.

Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the accident to contact them on 028 9065 0222.

Elsewhere, police have arrested a man after a woman's car was rammed three times in south Belfast. The incident occurred at around 12.40pm on Tuesday as police chased a car that had failed to stop at Broadway. There were no injuries during the incident.

A 26-year-old was later arrested on the Donegall Road and charged with dangerous driving and criminal damage.

He is expected to appear at Belfast Magistrates Court next month.
