The Police Service of Northern Ireland has questioned a lorry driver after a woman was killed and her husband left fighting for his life in a road crash in Co Antrim.
Ms Mary McMullan died after a collision on the main Ballymena to Ballycastle Road near Ballymoney. The 36-year-old was a front seat passenger in a Honda car which was in collision with the lorry on the Drones Road at its junction with the Knockhallet road at around 8.45 p.m. yesterday.
Her husband, who was driving the car, was taken to Coleraine Hospital and later transferred to the Royal in Belfast where his condition was described as critical.
The PSNI said the lorry was illegally adapted to carry up to 30,000 litres of fuel.
A senior police officer said: "It is a refrigerated lorry. It's designed for carrying frozen goods. Obviously it's been adapted to carry a very large tank.
"It's certainly not the purpose of the lorry or the design of the lorry."
The latest death brings the number of people killed on the North's roads since the beginning of the year to 19.
