Two people have died in separate road collisions on the M2 and in Larne.

Jenny Dunlop (59) was involved in a four-vehicle collision on the M2 in the evening of Sunday March 5 and has died in hospital, police have confirmed.

The collision happened at around 9.20pm on the M2 southbound, close to the Sandyknowes junction in Newtownabbey.

“I am appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the collision on Sunday evening or to anyone who may have dashcam footage that could assist with our enquiries to get in touch," a PSNI spokesman said.

“I am also appealing to the driver of a dark-coloured saloon taxi who we believe was in the area at the time of the collision travelling towards Belfast to contact the Collision Investigation Unit on 101, quoting reference 1663 05/03/23.”

Meanwhile, a man has died following a single-vehicle collision in the Magheramorne area of Larne yesterday evening.

Police said it happened on Craiganee Road, shortly before 6.30pm and the man died at the scene.

The PSNI has appealed for witnesses to both incidents to contact them.
