Heavy snow causes travel chaos

Black iceMotorists are being warned of the dangers of black ice

The PSNI is warning motorists to be cautious on Sunday as icy conditions affect roads across Northern Ireland.

In County Antrim, the Frosses Road at the Glarryford junction is likely to be closed for most of Sunday while a large lorry is removed.

It is understood it skidded off the road a number of days ago.

There have also been two collisions on the Portaferry Road in Newtownards. Drivers are warned of treacherous conditions close to the yacht club.

There are no reports of injuries in either incident.

Police have also asked motorists travelling on the M2 at Antrim Area Hospital to use the inside lane in both directions.
