A driver has been taken to hospital after suffering what police described as a “medical emergency” behind the wheel in Armagh.

The Monaghan Road, at Milford, was closed in both directions during the course of the operation following a single vehicle collision this afternoon (Wednesday)

A PSNI spokesperson said: “Crews worked in challenging conditions close to a fallen electric pole and were able to provide first aid to three casualties prior to the arrival of other emergency services

“Colleagues from Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service, Northern Ireland Ambulance Service and Northern Ireland Air Ambulance also attended and took over the care of the casualties.

“A 36-year-old adult was taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Two children were treated by NIAS on scene and released into the care of family.

“We wish them a speedy recovery and would like to thank our other emergency service partners, NIE and members of the public who assisted us on scene.”

The Monaghan Road has since reopened to traffic.
