Police

An 18-year-old man injured in a motorcycle accident on Thursday has died in hospital.

Terry Holmes, from Belfast, was involved in the crash on the Woodvale Road in the north of the city.

The name has also been released of the 20-year-old motorcyclist killed in a separate incident near Ballymoney, County Antrim. He was Timothy Stewart.

His bike crashed at about 1300 BST on Friday on Burnquarter Road, near the junction with Bravallen Road.

It is believed no other vehicles were involved. Police have appealed for any witnesses to contact them.

Mr Holmes was the fourth motorcyclist to die on NI's roads since the beginning of the year.
