A man has died following a road traffic collision on the Forkhill Road, Newry last evening, Saturday 23rd March.
The man aged in his 40’s was a pedestrian and he was involved in a collision with a car before 11pm.
Officers received a report of the collision involving a male pedestrian and a Nissan car at around 10.40pm on Saturday night. The man was taken to hospital following the collision but sadly died from his injuries a short time later.
The Forkhill Road was closed for a number of hours but has since re-opened. It was a black night for deaths on the roads with four people also killed in Armagh City.
Enquiries into the collision are ongoing, and officers from the Collision Investigation Unit would appeal to anyone who was travelling in the area at the time of the collision, or who has any dash cam or mobile phone footage, to contact them at Sprucefield on 101, quoting reference number 1661 23/03/24.
