Police investigate four car rush hour crash on M2 motorway

TWO people have been taken to hospital after they were injured in a rush hour motorway crash.

Four cars were involved in a collision on the M2 northbound shortly before 5pm on Wednesday causing lengthy tailbacks for tea time traffic.

One of the those cars involved, a Mini, was badly damaged in the crash.

One motorist said: “It looked like an accordion. It looked like it took the full force of the crash.”

A PSNI spokesperson said two people were taken to hospital with injuries not thought to be life-threatening.

A number of lanes were closed northbound between Belfast and Fortwilliam, causing long tailbacks but have now reopened.
