Man Dies In Co Antrim Collision
A 25-year-old man has died in a motorcycle collision in Co Antrim.
The two-vehicle crash happened on Main Street in Ballycarry shortly before 10pm on Thursday, 1 June.
Police are appealing for a second motorcyclist, who may have been injured and left the scene, to contact them.
The PSNI believe one of the bikes collided with a parked car.
