<\/p>\nONE person has been hospitalised after a massive multi-vehicle crash involving at least 10 cars on a busy motorway.<\/p>\n
Dramatic footage of the smash has emerged after one car crashed into another, causing a pile-up in Antrim. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The collision happened on the northbound lane of the motorway on the outer overtaking lane close to the Mallusk junction on Tuesday afternoon. <\/p>\n
Motorists faced long tailbacks after the crash caused one lane of the motorway to be closed off entirely. <\/p>\n
Drivers were advised to seek alternative routes as emergency services attended the scene of the collision. <\/p>\n
Dash-cam footage shows one car crashing into another and shaking as another car hits it from behind. <\/p>\n
At least 10 cars were involved in the pileup, with those at the back appearing to have suffered the most damage. <\/p>\n
The delays led to changes in Translink's bus service from Belfast city centre to Belfast International Airport, with passengers unable to be dropped off at Templepatrick until the return journey.<\/p>\n
The scene was cleared and the lane fully re-opened shortly after 6:30pm. <\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the NI Ambulance Service said: "Following assessment and initial treatment at the scene, one patient was taken by ambulance to Antrim Area Hospital."<\/p>\n
