Fri, 31 May 2019

Police have released footage of a crash which closed the Mountain Road last Friday, just seven minutes after it had reopened one-way for TT fortnight.

The rider suffered minor injuries. He was fined £120 with 3 penalty points for riding without due care and attention.

A force spokesperson said: "Riders have to ride within their limits. To safely deal with, investigate and clear up the road means a long closure for all. The consequences could have been much worse and in similar crashes riders have been killed."
