Police say they may have saved the life of an NI teenager caught driving 114mph on a single carriageway road.
The 18 year old was caught by police heading towards Moira with three young passengers on Sunday evening.
In a social media post on the NI Road Policing and Safety Facebook page, a spokesperson for the PSNI said they believe the teen was driving at a life threatening speed.
“114mph. Not on a dual carriageway. Not on a motorway. This happened this evening on a single carriageway A road heading towards Moira,” the post read.

“It’s just possible that we may have saved the lives of the 18 year old driver and 3 young passengers, by stopping them in their tracks.
“We’ve been to enough serious collisions where an excess of speed and lack of experience have combined to cause a devastating impact on the families and friends left behind.
“Obviously the driver will soon be in front of the Magistrate.
“No apologies but repeating ourselves here, but Speed Kills.”
