Police say a man in his 70s is still critically ill in hospital after a serious crash on the M2 in Belfast.

His motorbike collided with another vehicle by Fortwilliam nearly three weeks ago.

The other driver wasn't injured and the PSNI's urging people who saw what happened to come forward.

Inspector Gary Irvine said: "The collision, between a motorcycle and another vehicle, was reported to us at around 2.30pm. (Friday 6th July)

"The motorway was closed for a time to allow the air ambulance to land.

"The male motorcycle rider, who is in his 70s, was taken to hospital for treatment where he remains in a critical condition. The female driver of the other vehicle was not injured in the incident.

"I would ask anyone who saw what happened or has dash cam footage that could be useful to our investigation, to get in touch with us on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 805 of 6/7/18."
