The number of people killed on the roads of Northern Ireland has risen again with news that a man has become the 87th person to lose his life after being knocked down by a van in a road accident at the weekend.
Ivor Millen, 51, from Macosquin, Coleraine, was killed as he was walking along the Strand Road in the town on Friday night.
