Two ambulances have been involved in road traffic collisions in the North while dealing with emergency calls.

At around 8:50am, an ambulance was en-route to hospital from Portrush with a patient, when a vehicle emerged from the side road and clipped the rear end of the ambulance.

The ambulance went into a spin, before ending up on its side.

The patient and crew are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries at Causeway Hospital.

Separately, an ambulance was responding to a call in Carrickfergus at around 8:30am on the Shore Road in Whiteabbey, when a vehicle emerged from a side road.

No-one was seriously hurt, but the occupant of the car has been brought to the Royal Victoria Hospital for treatment.

Both calls being responded to were non-life-threatening emergencies, the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service says.
