Just heard about this there now, apparently some are saying 1 man is dead and 2 others critically injured. Happened around Belfast High School area, traffic was awful all morning up round are way on the top road so must have had the road closed.

Happended around 6-7 in the morning today.

Anyone heard anything?

Dont know about now mate ... seems to be moving quickly up my direction now so must have cleared it on.

Just heard on the radio there it was actually around 12 last night ... PSNI only cleared the roads this morning of it.

I didn't leave the house, traffic was a nightmare. Mum and Dad both phoned me at 7.30 to let me know that even then it was bad.

Happened around 2am. It was a car and a lorry. Supposedly the police are treating it as crime? Yeah and 1 dead, 1 critical and 1 ok. Road is still closed which is a pain but understandable. You can't get out of the Jordanstown road or the Station Road in Greenisland. I stayed at home...!

RIP whoever it was. Scary when it happens close to home.

only hearing there now?? :p happened at 2am!

Looked out the front window at 6.15am not seeing any cars go by which was random. had to head up station road, cars were queued back to the lights, took 17mins to get to the bridge, 25 to the top road, 45 to shore road via monkstown and jtown road, 80 mins over all to get to work in Dunmurry!

JR's... Deathriders has been the new name for a while so as not to glorify it, just no-one here uses it :p

Thats what im talking about

you rarely hear of a Bike riding joyrider

its 99% of the time cars..

So why would they be called A "RIDER"

Yeah know what you mean now. Think on the mainland they call them TWOCERS (taken without owners concent, sounds like a cop term), or at least thats the only place I have heard the term

traffic was mad on the Jordanstown road this morning (heading towards Monkstown). Thankfully i go via the shore road to North Belfast.

Hope anyone caught up in this accident (who arent JR's) make a speedy recovery

If its joy riders then that is karma (y) What about the tesco lorry driver? Is he ok?

Edit: Just reread the story, im guessing the lorry driver was grand just the ones in the car that got harmed.

RIP if the driver and passengers where innocent, if they where joy riders then another one bites the dust (y)
