Posting on social media, NI Road Policing and Safety said: "If motorists heading southbound on the M2 at Rathbeg this morning were wondering what the diversion and delay was; it was to allow our colleagues from Roads Policing Steeple, NIFRS and NIAS to deal with two separate incidents that happened very close to each other.
"Fortunately no-one was seriously injured and the motorway was soon reopened. Thank you to those who initially stopped to offer assistance and to everyone else inconvenienced for your patience.
