Belfast - Investigation after fatal road crash

A 25-year-old man died today after the car he was travelling in crashed in Belfast, moments after a police car was rammed.

The victim was the passenger in one of two cars attempting to evade police officers in west Belfast in the early hours.

The blue Honda Civic crashed when it left the Glenside Road in Hannastown shortly before 2am this morning.

The 25-year-old driver was arrested. Only minutes beforehand, one of the vehicles involved rammed a police car on the nearby Rock Road.

The Northern Ireland Police Ombudsman has been called in to investigate the incident.
