The emergency services are currently dealing with a two car crash in the south of the island.

Crews from Castletown and Douglas fire services were called to a two vehicle crash just past the Santon Motel.

Police and paramedics were also in attendance.

A fire service spokesman said: ’Working with our Paramedic colleagues one casualty was extracted from a car and is being transferred to hospital to have their injuries assessed.

’The road remains shut to allow the recovery of both vehicles involved.’

A police statement had previously confirmed the road in Santon was closed between the junctions of Oatlands Road and the Blackboards.
