A PSNI spokesperson said the road has been closed at Seagoe Bridge while the emergency services deal with “an ongoing incident”.

It’s understood a man fell from the bridge onto the main road, sustaining serious injuries.

The Air Ambulance has been tasked to the scene and motorists are being advised to avoid the area.

According to local sources, the injured man is aged in his 60s and is thought to be from the Lurgan area.
