Dublin Road Belfast collision: PSNI seeks dashcam footage after pedestrian suffers serious injuries

Police are continuing to appeal for information after a serious road traffic collision on Dublin Road in Belfast city centre in which a woman suffered head and leg injuries.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland says the collision was reported shortly before 1am on Sunday 13 September 2026 and involved a female pedestrian and a silver Honda CR-V.

What has PSNI confirmed?

Officers attended with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service. The woman was taken to hospital, where her head and leg injuries were described as serious.

The road was closed for several hours following the collision and has since reopened.

What information are police looking for?

PSNI is asking anyone who witnessed the collision, or who has dashcam, CCTV or other video footage that could assist the investigation, to contact officers.

The police reference is 60 of 13/09/26. Information can be provided through 101, while Crimestoppers also accepts anonymous information.

Why dashcam footage can matter

City-centre collisions in the early hours can involve short time windows and relatively few direct witnesses. Dashcam footage from vehicles that passed the area before or after the incident can help investigators establish traffic movements, lighting conditions and the sequence of events.

Drivers do not need to decide whether their footage is important before contacting police. If a recording covers the relevant place and time, investigators can assess its value.

Do not speculate about fault

PSNI has not published a conclusion about responsibility or the cause of the collision. It would therefore be wrong to infer speed, distraction, impairment or pedestrian behaviour from the limited public facts.

The investigation is ongoing. Reporting should stay with what police have confirmed rather than turning an appeal for evidence into an unsupported account of what happened.

If you have footage, preserve it now

Many dashcams overwrite older files automatically. Anyone who travelled through Dublin Road around the relevant time should check the device before the footage is lost. Save the original file where possible rather than repeatedly editing or compressing it.

If the camera records GPS or timestamp data, keep that information with the file.

What area should drivers think about?

The appeal concerns Dublin Road in Belfast city centre. Drivers, taxi operators, delivery vehicles and businesses with cameras facing the road may all hold useful material even if nobody directly saw the point of impact.

How to contact police

PSNI's appeal directs witnesses or anyone with relevant footage to contact police on 101 and quote reference 60 13/09/26. Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or through its online service.

Why we publish serious collision appeals

PureCar does not intend to turn ordinary crashes into clickbait. A police appeal involving serious injury in central Belfast is different: timely publication can help put the request for witnesses in front of drivers who were actually on the road.

If you were in the area at the time, check your dashcam even if you do not remember seeing the collision itself.
