DUP Cllr Peter Haire explained the trailer, pulled by a tractor, had overturned at Flush Place roundabout with the load dumped onto the road and pavement.

He urged people to avoid the area as the PSNI is currently dealing the the issue including the build up of traffic.

“The road is passable with care but it is causing a bit of a blockage,” he said. He understands a special vehicle has been tasked to remove the trailer and its load.
