Police appeal for witnesses following tragic collision that killed two in Co Antrim

Police have issued an appeal for witnesses following a tragic collision that killed two people in Co Antrim.

A man in his 70s and a woman in her 40s were killed after their car collided with a telehandler on the Benvardin Road in Ballymoney, just after 4pm on Monday, November 16.

Two other passengers in the vehicle were injured and taken to hospital for treatment.

Police have now issued a fresh appeal for any witnesses who may have any information that could assist them in their enquires or anyone who may have been travelling in the area with dash-cam footage.

They are particularly keen to speak to the driver of a dark coloured vehicle who was stopped at the scene initially.

Inspector Stephen McCafferty said; “We are particularly interested in speaking with the driver of a dark coloured car which initially stopped at the scene as this driver may be able to assist us with our inquires.

"I am also appealing for anyone who may have been travelling in this area on Monday afternoon who may have captured dash-cam footage to please get in touch by calling 101, quoting reference 1317 16/11/20.”

Causeway Coast UUP councillor Darry Wilson told Belfast Live: "It's an awful tragedy."
