A 40-year-old man has died in a two-car road crash in East Belfast on Saturday.

The fatal collision happened on the Ballygowan Road, outside Roselawn Cemetery, just after 8pm.

Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them.

They added that officers would particularly like to speak to "the driver of a dark-coloured car which is believed to have been in the vicinity at the time".

Emergency services attended two other serious crashes across Northern Ireland on Saturday night.

The Moyarget Road outside Ballycastle was closed after a three-vehicle crash. The A5 Omagh to Ballygawley Road was closed in the area of Kelly’s Inn after a third serious crash.

Early on Saturday, a horse was killed and a number of people taken to hospital after a collision on the Lisnevenagh Road outside Ballymena .
