M1 motorway: PSNI appeal for witnesses, including bus passengers, following serious four-vehicle crash
Police have issued a fresh appeal for information and witnesses – including bus passengers – following a serious, multiple-vehicle collision on the M1 last week.
Four vehicles were involved in the collision, which occurred on the westbound section of the motorway approaching the Blacks Road junction at around 6.40pm on Thursday, January 23.
The drivers of the four vehicles were taken to hospital. Three have since left hospital after treatment to injuries which are not thought to be serious at this time.
A police spokesperson confirmed the other driver remains in hospital; however, thankfully, his condition has improved.
The vehicles involved were a black Audi Q5, a grey Peugeot 207, an orange Dacia Duster and a grey Mercedes A Class.
Road Policing Sergeant Boyd said: “We would appeal to anyone who was on the motorway at that time, who witnessed the collision or the events leading up to it, to contact us.
"We’re particularly keen to talk to passengers travelling on Ulsterbus service 261 from Belfast to Enniskillen, which left Grand Central Station at 6.20pm. One man on board administered first aid to those involved in the collision. A Metro service to Blacks Road Park & Ride was also in the area at the time.
"If you were on board these services, you could help us. Please call officers on 101, quoting reference 1403 of 23/01/25.”
