A 25-year-old man has died following a one vehicle crash on the Loughareema Road, just outside Cushendall, County Antrim, on Sunday.

Motorcyclist William Hewitt was from Belfast.

PSNI officers received a report of the collision involving a motorcycle shortly after 11:30 BST.

The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service and Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service also attended the scene, but Mr Hewitt died from his injuries.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have dash-cam footage to come forward and are particularly keen to hear from the driver of a tractor who assisted at the scene.
