American tourist killed in Antrim crash
The man, in his 30s, died after a car crashed close to the Dark Hedges on Tuesday night.
An American tourist has died in a County Antrim crash.
31 year old Michael Munro was from Orange in Connecticut.
He passed away following the collision on the Gracehill Road in Armoy, which is close to the Dark Hedges.
It's believed he may have been visiting the world-famous tourist attraction before the crash.
A woman in her 30’s was also injured and is being treated in hospital. Her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
North Antrim DUP MLA Mervyn Storey has spoken of his sadness at the news:
"For sometime now I have been raising concerns with Road Service about this junction and also another one on the same road known locally at Walkers Cross.
"The accident I understand was at the junction of the Gracehill Road and the Bregagh Road at the Clintyfinnan Cross Roads.
"This junction is used by tourist visiting the Dark Hedges and would be unfamiliar to visitors.
"Over the last few months there have been a number of serious accidents at this particular crossing and also at Walkers Cross.
"I will be asking to meet Divisional Roads Manger David Porter along with his officials and the PSNI to see what can be done to these two particular junctions safer.
"Road Service have already agreed to put in place additional signage however in light of this accident that will have to be reviewed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased and all those who have been involved in this very sad news."
The road remains closed this morning.
