A man was rushed to hospital following a two-vehicle collision in Portadown on Sunday evening.

The collision occurred at around 7.40pm on the Dungannon Road.

One man was rushed to Craigavon Area Hospital, where his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

Sergeant Kearney said: “A Suzuki Grand Vitara and a Yamaha YBR 125 motorcycle were involved in the incident.

“The driver of the motorcycle was taken to hospital for treatment for injuries, which are not believed to be life threatening.

“The Dungannon Road was closed for a several hours while officers investigated and to allow the vehicles to be recovered.

“We would appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have dash-cam footage available to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 1313 of 28/10/18.”

Almost one year ago exactly 18-year-old Ross Capper tragically lost his life on the same stretch of road.

The teenager had been travelling along the road, just a few miles from his home, when the accident happened shortly after midnight on November 8.
