The man was lucky to escape with his life after his Mazda was involved in a collision with a lorry around 8am on the Limavady by-pass.

The driver, who was badly shaken, was taken to Altnagelvin Hospital after the incident.

However, police say his injuries were “believed not to be serious.”

In another incident, a 40-year-old Limavady man was killed in a road collision in Scotland last Friday.

Paul Bellingham died after he was involved in a four vehicle smash on the A71 near Hurlford in Ayrshire.

Another motorcyclist and a pillion passenger were injured in the collision, which involved two motorbikes, a car and a van.

Meanwhile, a Draperstown teenager seriously hurt in a road accident last week remains critically ill.

The 13-year-old underwent emergency surgery at the Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) after a quad he was riding on was in collision with a car at Doon Road, Draperstown, last Wednesday.
