Three people have died in two separate crashes in Northern Ireland on Saturday.

Two people were killed following a road traffic collision involving a motorcycle and a car at Upper Ballinderry in County Antrim.

Police said they received a report shortly before 18:00 BST on Saturday of a collision in the Glenavy Road area of Upper Ballinderry.

The emergency service attended, but the drivers of both vehicles died at the scene.

"Another person was taken to hospital for treatment to their injuries," Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Det Insp Dave Stewart added.

"The road, which was closed for a time between the junctions of Soldierstown Road and Hammonds Road, has since reopened."

In County Tyrone, police received a report shortly after 23:00 BST of a crash involving a van in the Derrycourtney Road in Caledon.

The police, ambulance and fire service attended but the person was pronounced dead at the scene.
