A tragic incident occurred in Castledawson when a first-year pupil from St Pius X College was hit by a vehicle after leaving her school bus. Authorities are urging witnesses, especially those with video footage, to share it with police without posting on social media, to aid the investigation. Local leaders express deep concern and condolences, highlighting this as the second tragic event affecting the community in a short time, with past incidents raising serious safety concerns on local roads.
The Hillhead Road in Castledawson has reopened following this serious collision and our investigation continues.
I would ask anyone with footage not to share it on social media, but instead forward it to police through the Major Incident Public Portal.
