A woman in her 60s has died after a crash involving three vehicles near Newtownards in County Down.

Police said it happened on the Portaferry Road shortly after 10:20 BST on Friday.

Insp Cherith Adair said: “A red-coloured lorry travelling towards Greyabbey had been involved in a collision with a silver Citroen Berlingo people carrier and a white Audi A3 car travelling in the direction of Newtownards.”

A passenger in the Citroen died at the scene.

Eight other people – three men, two women and three children – were taken to hospital for treatment.

The Portaferry Road was closed for several hours while crash investigators examined the scene but it has since been reopened.
