A policeman suffered minor injuries when he was knocked down in Enniskillen yesterday evening as he directed traffic after a three-vehicle crash on the Irvinestown Road.

A Mercedes school bus carrying disabled children was involved in the accident shortly after 3pm, on the busy stretch of road close to the building site for the new Erne Hospital. A small number of casualties suffered just minor injuries and the police officer was treated at the scene.

A spokesman for the PSNI said: "Shortly after 4pm, a male officer performing traffic control duties was injured in a RTC involving a car at Irvinestown Road. He was treated at the scene and returned to duty a short time later,"

Earlier in the day, Health Minister Michael McGimpsey visited the Erne Hospital site to see how the construction was coming along.
