By Q Radio News

A teenager who was arrested after a young woman sustained injuries during a hit-and-run in County Antrim has been released on police bail.            

The 18- year-old man was questioned in relation to collision which happened on the Ballybollen Road in Ahoghill on Friday night. 

A woman in her 20s was discovered injured at the junction near Glebe Road at around 10.40pm. 

Police attended the scene along with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service crews who transferred the woman to hospital for treatment to injuries on her legs and face.  

Detective Sergeant Peter Crothers has urged witnesses to come forward. 

"I want to appeal to anyone who was in the Ahoghill area last night and saw what happened to pick up the phone and tell us what you know," he said.   

"I would also appeal to anyone who saw two vehicles - a grey Volkswagen Golf and a grey Vauxhall Corsa travelling together from the cinema car park on Larne Road Link in Ballymena towards Ahoghill, between 9:30pm and 10:30pm [on Friday], to get in touch, or who captured the vehicles' movements on their dash cam. 

"Anyone with information they believe could assist our investigation is asked to call us on 101, and quote reference 2183 of 08/11/19." 

The Ballybollen Road and Glebe Road were closed following the incident but have since been re-opened.
