THREE children have been injured, one critically, following a road traffic collision in Co. Armagh.
The two-vehicle collision occurred on the Cusher Road in Markethill on Saturday afternoon.
A woman has been arrested on suspicion of a number of driving offences in connection with the incident.
“Shortly after 1.20pm, officers and colleagues from the emergency services attended a report of a collision involving a car and another car which was towing a caravan,” said Inspector Brown of the PSNI.
“Three children were taken to hospital for treatment for their injuries.
