A mini-bus passenger has died after they were injured in an incident in north Belfast last Thursday (September, 19).

Police believe the vehicle was forced to stop suddenly near the Co-Op on the Antrim Road around midday.

Detectives are keen to hear from the driver of the car in front at the time and a pedestrian who was crossing the road.

They are also appealing for anyone with dash cam footage to come forward.

Inspector Murphy said: "I would appeal to the driver of a car, which was in front of this minibus and a pedestrian who was crossing the road to contact police at Tennent Street PSNI Station on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 1344 25/09/19, as they may have information that could assist police with their investigation.

"I am also keen to speak with motorists who may have been driving in the area and have dash cam footage fitted to their vehicles that may have captured this incident."
