A 22-year-old woman has died following a three-vehicle collision in Ballymena.
Katya Watson was fatally injured in the crash which occurred at approximately 12.15pm on the Lisnevenagh Road on Friday.
PSNI officers attended alongside other emergency services and first aid was provided at the scene.
The crash involved a silver Vauxhall Corsa, a grey BMW 430D and a blue Volvo XC90.
Detective Sergeant McIvor, from the Police Service’s Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Sadly, the driver of the Corsa has since passed away from her injuries in hospital. She was 22-year-old Katya Watson from the Coleraine area.
“We would appeal to anyone with any information or who may have dashcam or mobile phone footage available to get in contact with us on 101, quoting reference number 701 08/12/23.
“We are especially keen to hear from the driver of a blue BMW who was driving in the southbound lane at the time of the collision.”
