Q Radio understands a woman has been killed following a crash in North Belfast, which involved a stolen vehicle. 

It happened on the Ballysillan Road at around 10.55am. 

The victim was taken to hospital via Air Ambulance and was pronounced dead a short time later.

Emergency services are at the scene, and say the road has been closed to traffic in both directions. Drivers are being asked to avoid the area near Ballysillan Leisure centre.  

SDLP North Belfast Councillor Paul McCusker said: “It has been an extremely sad 24 hours for North Belfast after a second individual has lost their life.

“Death drivers have no place in our society and serve no other purpose than to terrorise communities.

“My thoughts go out to the family and I would appeal for anyone with information to come forward to the PSNI.”
