A cyclist has been left paralysed from the waist down after a serious crash involving a jeep between Antrim and Ballymena.

The 38-year-old man was taken to hospital after it happened during a time-trial race on the Lisnevenagh Road on Sunday 10th June.

Detectives are urging anyone who saw what happened to come forward.

The investigating officer, PSNI Constable Hamilton said: "We have been working to establish the exact circumstances of the collision between a cyclist and a black Honda CR-V Jeep, at around 10.30am on Sunday 10th June, which has left a 38 year old male cyclist paralysed from the waist down.

"The driver of the jeep did remain at the scene and gave an account of the collision, however, in order to fully investigate this incident I would like to speak with all witnesses.

"I would therefore ask anyone who has not already spoken to police and who has information which could assist us with our enquiries, to contact police in Antrim on 101, quoting reference number 593 10/06/18."
