There have been numerous reports of treacherous conditions on different routes this morning across counties Derry, Donegal and Tyrone.

While some main roads have been gritted, many secondary routes, streets and back roads are currently in a dangerous state.

Pavements, walkways and cycle routes are also extremely slippery in numerous areas.

There have been reports of dangerous conditions in areas including the greater Shantallow, Ballyarnett and Muff areas as well as many others. Accidents have been reported on some routes.

A PSNI spokesperson for Derry and Strabane said: "The roads particularly the side roads , estates and footpaths are like a bottle this morning.

"Please consider if you need to be out on the roads and if your journey is essential take extra care. We have already had reports of collisions and people stranded along with people having fallen on the ice so please take care."
