Police say the vehicle had to break sharply on the Antrim Road at around mid-day on Thursday the 19th of September.

Detectives want to speak to the driver of a car which was in front of the bus at the time, and a pedestrian seen crossing the road.

 

Inspector Murphy said:

“Police received a report that as a mini-bus was travelling along the Antrim Road near the Co-Op at approximately 12 mid-day on Thursday, 19 September,  it had to brake sharply. "

“One person who was a passenger in the mini-bus was injured at the time and has since passed away. "

“I would appeal to the driver of a car, which was in front of this minibus and a pedestrian who was crossing the road to contact police at Tennent Street PSNI Station on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 1344 25/09/19, as they may have information that could assist police with their investigation.  I am  also keen to speak with motorists who may have been driving in the area and have dash cam footage fitted to their vehicles that may have captured this incident.
