Police issued a warning to drivers to be patient following the second incident of this nature in a matter of days
A PSNI spokesperson said: “We have all been here, stuck in traffic waiting on those pesky trains going past.
“Unfortunately people get very impatient and take to driving down the wrong side of the road to get to their turn in.
“This has led to a young woman being struck by a vehicle in Lurgan today.
“That’s the second pedestrian involved in a similar incident in two days.
“Please drive carefully and pay attention to your surroundings.”
