A woman arrested on a number of road-related offences and cruelty to children following a serious road traffic collision in Markethill has been released on bail to allow for further enquiries.
The arrest of the woman in her 30s follows the serious crash – which involved a car and another car which was towing a caravan – on the Cusher Road, Markethill on Saturday, October 31.
The collision left one child critically injured. That child remains critical in hopsital as of Monday morning.
The collision led to the arrest of the woman on suspicion of dangerous driving.
Inspector Brown, speaking over the weekend, said that shortly after 1.20pm on Saturday, officers and emergency services attended a report of a collision “involving a car and another car which was towing a caravan”.
“Three children were taken to hospital for treatment for their injuries,” he said.
“Two of the children sustained minor injuries as a result of the collision, whilst the third remains in a critical condition in hospital at this time.
The Cusher Road has since reopened, but investigations are continuing.
Police are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have mobile phone or dash cam footage to come forward.
The number to call is 101, quoting reference number 715 of 31/10/26.
