A child was airlifted to hospital by Air Ambulance last night following a serious road traffic collision involving a tractor and a car.

The collision happened on the Pharis Road, Armoy, Co Antrim, just before 7pm and involved a tractor towing a silage trailer and a car.

A spokesperson for the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said last night that two other people were taken to the Causeway Hospital while two more are being treated at Antrim Area Hospital.

Their conditions weren’t immediately known. A sixth person was treated at the scene.
