A 22-year-old Dunmurry man has been killed after the stolen car he was driving was involved in a collision with a van on the outskirts of south Belfast.

Their injuries were not life-threatening.

The 21-year-old woman was later arrested on suspicion of burglary and allowing herself to be carried - she was later bailed pending further enquiries.

The McKinstry Road remains closed.

Police have appealed for anyone who witnessed the collision or anyone who was travelling on the McKinstry Road around 08:00 GMT on Friday to contact them.
