A man has died following a road traffic collision near Banbridge in the early hours of this morning.

Shortly after 12.30am on Saturday, November 18 police received a report of a single vehicle collision on the Circular Road – between Banbridge and Katesbridge.

Officers provided first aid alongside colleagues from other emergency services but sadly the man, a front seat passenger in a grey Volkswagen Golf, was pronounced dead at the scene.
