Ravenhill Road closed on Tuesday night as part of fatal crash investigation

Police are to close the Ravenhill Road in Belfast as part of an ongoing investigation into a fatal crash.

In a statement issued on Tuesday evening, the PSNI said officers from their Collision Investigation Unit Police, “investigating the fatal road traffic collision on Saturday January22, will return to the scene on the Ravenhill Road in Belfast tonight, Tuesday February 1”.

A spokesman added: “The Ravenhill Road will be closed from 9pm for several hours to allow officers to conduct follow-up enquiries. The road is expected to reopen during the early hours of tomorrow morning.

“We thank the public for their patience as this is carried out.”

The move comes after two men died in a crash on the road last month. Police named 47-year-old Jon O’Hara as one of the two men who died. The police said the second man who died has not been named at the request of his family.

A man has appeared in court charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving.
