Co Armagh road closed for tragic collision investigation
A Co Armagh[1] road is set to close to allow police to investigate a fatal road traffic collision almost two months ago.
A teenage boy died following the crash involving a car and a pedestrian on the Moy Road in Portadown in the early hours of April 16th.
Police officers, along with other emergency services attended the crash and provided medical assistance but the teenage boy sadly passed away at the scene.
At the time police said they received a report shortly before 4.20am on Sunday morning, 16th April that a pedestrian had been involved in a collision with a silver Skoda Superb.
On Thursday evening, officers confirmed that the road will be closed for a time on Friday morning as part of their investigation into the crash.
A PSNI[3] spokesperson said: "Officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland's Collision Investigation Unit, investigating a fatal road traffic collision on the Moy Road, Portadown on Sunday, 16th April, are to return to the scene.
"Testing at the scene will be carried out by officers on Friday, 9th June and the road is expected to be closed between 9am and 11am, with diversions in place.
"We thank you for your patience as this work is carried out."
