Icy roads cause collisions

A number of people have been slightly injured in a series of accidents on two motorways in County Antrim, the police have said.

Four vehicles were involved in one of the accidents on the M5 which were caused by icy conditions.

Two other vehicles crashed in a separate incident on the M5 while another two collisions were reported on the M2.

Police say it is mainly the Newtownabbey area that is affected by the treacherous conditions.

They have warned motorists to be aware of the road conditions and reduce their speed.
