An accident has occurred on Spencer Road at its junction with Fountain Hill, one of the steepest streets in Derry.

Significant damage appears to have been caused to a vehicle in the incident on Thursday morning.

Fountain Hill, one of the most precipitous inclines in the whole of Derry, has been closed to traffic due to treacherous driving conditions caused by the snow and ice this morning.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland have asked people to take special care if they have to be on the roads.
