A woman in her 70s has died following a two-car collision in Derry on Thursday afternoon.
The woman was a passenger in one of the vehicles that collided on the Limavady Road shortly after 4pm. The drivers, both males in their 70s, were treated for injuries.
Inspector Cherith Adair, of the Police Service’s Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Police received a report shortly after 4pm of a collision on the Limavady Road involving a grey Citroen C3 and blue Alfa Romeo.
“Officers attended the scene alongside colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service and Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service.
“Medical treatment was provided to both drivers of the cars, two men aged in their 70s, and a woman who was a passenger in the grey Citroen C3.
“Sadly, the woman who was aged in her 70s, passed away a short time later after arriving in hospital for treatment to her injuries. Both drivers sustained non-life-threatening injuries.”
The Limavady Road was closed in both directions for a time on Thursday to help emergency services and for an initial investigation to be carried out.
An investigation is continuing as police appeal for anyone who has any footage, either dashcam or mobile phone, to come forward.
