Road worker killed in accident

A road worker has died after being struck by a lorry in Coleraine this morning.

The truck collided with a stationary vehicle on the Sandelford Bridge at around 7.10am before it hit a man working on the carriageway.

He was a contractor working for Firmus Energy, an Antrim-based natural gas company.

He was the 38th person to die this year on roads in the North, one of four pedestrians.

Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
