Lanes on the Westlink have reopened and traffic is returning to normal in the wake of a crash that caused significant delays in Belfast on Monday morning.

The crash happened close to the Grosvenor Road near Roden Street. The Westlink was initially closed in the westbound direction but both directions were then closed.

Traffic had been diverted via Divis Street and police had warned motorists to seek alternative routes if possible.
