An 18-year-old woman has died following a road accident in south Belfast.

She was a back seat passenger in a car which collided with a skip on Windsor Park in the early hours of Sunday morning.

A 22-year-old man who was in the front seat was taken to hospital, however, his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

A 20-year-old man has been arrested and is assisting police with their inquiries, said the PSNI.

The road has been closed between the Lisburn and Malone roads.

Sometimes I'm amazed at mans strange activities...

It wasn't in the middle of the road, it was actually at the side... which makes it even stranger.

Must have been a laps of concentration
 
happens quite a lot. They are supposed to have lights or at least reflectors around them but sometimes they either get nicked or dodgy skip operators just dont bother. Then if car/bike driver isnt paying attention in the dark its an accident waiting to happen.

Friend of my dad lost his son when he hit one on a motorbike in the dark. Some students thought it was a laugh to nick the warning lamps around it :/
