Police are again warning motorists to slow down and drive responsibly on rural roads after a 'reckless and thoughtless act' from one driver on a rural road in County Derry.

A spokesperson said: "Speeding on rural roads where tractors, livestock, or pedestrians may appear unexpectedly can have deadly consequences.
"With this good weather boosting silage operations, our rural roads are busy with tractors and agricultural vehicles which are moving slower and require extra caution from all road users.
