A man has passed away from his injuries following a road traffic collision which occurred last week in Lisburn, the Police Service of Northern Ireland has said.

Gabriel Johnston, 22, died after the car he was driving collided with a lorry at Sheepwalk Road on Tuesday, 6 May.

Mr Johnston was taken to hospital following the incident and has since died.

"Officers attended the scene, alongside colleagues from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service, and the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service," said Inspector Cherith Adair, of the PSNI Collision Investigation Unit.

"Gabriel Johnston, who was 22 years old and from the Belfast area, and was the driver of the car, was taken to hospital for treatment for his injuries following the collision but has since sadly passed away."

The PSNI has encouraged anyone with any information to contact them by calling 101, or by making a report online.

"Our investigation to establish the circumstances of the collision is ongoing, and we would like to hear from witnesses or anyone who may have captured dash-cam or other footage which could assist with our enquiries," added Inspector Adair.
