The Northern Ireland Executive is advising motorists to take care on the roads this morning as 'road temperatures overnight have fallen close to or below freezing'.

A statement from the Department for Infrastructure said a “Met Office yellow warning of Snow and Ice for Northern Ireland remains in place today until 18:00”.

It added that whilst “salting of the scheduled network was completed overnight” but “heavy rain has caused wash-off in some areas”.

“Repeat salting of those roads likely to be affected is continuing.

“Road users should take care, particularly when travelling on untreated roads.”
