Six people have been arrested after a car crashed into a wall beside a school.
The incident happened at 9.50am this morning on the Culmore Road near Culmore Primary School in Derry.
Although details of what happened remain unclear at this stage, local SDLP councillor Angela Dobbins said it's a worrying incident given the proximity to the school.

She told Belfast Live: "It's very worrying, I understand it happened around 10am this morning but if it had been any earlier youngsters would have been heading towards school and that's a very worrying thought of what could have happened.
"We don't know why or what happened at this stage... or any further details but it's worrying anywhere no matter where it happens but in such close proximity to a school it's more worrying."
PSNI Inspector Mullan said: “Police received a report of a single vehicle road traffic collision on the Culmore Road, Derry at approximately 9.50 am this morning (March 28).
“It was reported that a car had collided with a wall in the area.
“Six people have been arrested and remain in custody at this time, enquiries are continuing and police would appeal for witnesses to contact the non-emergency number 101 quoting reference 385 28/03/19.”
Police have appealed for anyone who was in the area at the time and witnessed the crash or has dash cam footage to contact them.
