A number of people have been taken to hospital after a crash in County Antrim.
The collision happened on the Lisnevenagh Road, Ballymena early this morning.
It's understood a Vauxhall Vectra hit a horse shortly after 4am.
A Volkswagen Bora is then believed to have struck the animal, which was killed.
We're told the driver of the Vauxhall has sustained injuries that, while serious, are not thought to be life threatening.
The five occupants of the second car sustained only minor injuries.
