Motorists were earlier advised to expect significant delays in the Crankill Road area of Ballymena - after it was closed in both directions following a two-vehicle road traffic collision.

At the time a PSNI spokesman said diversions were in place.

Pictures taken at the scene appear to show a number of vehicles sitting stationary. The Air Ambulance attended the scene along with the PSNI, Fire Service and Ambulance.
