This is a busy junction on the main arterial route into Lurgan and just before Lurgan Train Station. There are regular bottle necks at this stretch of road particularly when the railway gates are down.

"We would appeal to anyone travelling in the area at the time, who may have witnessed the collision or have dash-cam footage, to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 1625 of 21/08/23.”
