Emergency services are at the scene of a serious five vehicle collision on the Southbound carriageway of the M2.

The crash happened shortly before 4pm.

The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said:

"NIAS despatched 2 Rapid Response Paramedics, 3 A&E crews and an Intermediate Care Crew to the scene. The Charity Air Ambulance was also tasked to the scene.

All crews are currently on location, assessing and treating patients."

Police have advised drivers to avoid the area due to road closures:

"The M2 motorway has now been closed in both directions following a serious multi vehicle collision. Closures are in place country-bound at York Street and city-bound at Fortwilliam roundabout.

The M3 has also been closed in both directions between the Sydenham bypass and York Street."
