Nick Crowe in 'serious but stable' condition
ISLE of Man TT sidecar racer Nick Crowe, who was injured in an accident on the approach to Ballaugh in Wednesday evening's race, remains in a serious but stable condition in hospital in the UK.
The 38-year-old sidecar lap record holder's accident caused the race to be red flagged and ultimately cancelled when no new time slot could be allocated for it.
It is understood the Jurby man is undergoing a series of operations.
His passenger Mark Cox is said to be comfortable in hospital and awaiting transfer to a hospital in Liverpool before the end of the week.
Ballure's Gary Carswell is described as comfortable. He crashed at Ballacrye in the Superbike TT last Monday when it is believed he went off the back of his 1000cc Suzuki at more than 140mph.
The former Senior MGP winner, third in the 2004 Senior TT, was lucky to escape with a broken right ankle and rib injuries. He also suffered friction burns to his back.
Dramatic pictures of the incident appeared in special TT editions of national newspapers and MCN.
Japanese newcomer Yoshinari Matsushita was also described as 'comfortable' as he continues his recovery at Noble's Hospital.
Triple Manx Grand Prix winner Dan Kneen was discharged from hospital before attending the prizegiving ceremony on Friday.
Travelling marshal John McBride, who was injured in an accident at Keppel Gate, remains in hospital in the UK. His condition is described as serious but he is off the critical list.
