A 14-year-old boy remains in intensive care after he collided with a motor vehicle at Andreas airfield.
He was flown to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool after he sustained serious injuries on Good Friday.
A police spokesman said: ’We have had a response back from hospital and family. He is still in the Intensive Care Unit where his condition remains stable and is having ongoing treatment [for injuries] caused by the incident.’
Inquiries into the cause of the accident are continuing.

It is understood that the boy was playing with a group of teenage friends, including the driver of a car, when the incident happened.
The driver of the vehicle has been interviewed.
Officers from the northern neighbourhood policing team and the force’s roads policing unit attended the incident.
As Andreas airfield is privately-owned, it is not classed as a road or other public place and so any offences under the Road Traffic Act 1985 would not apply.
The airfield is a former Royal Air Force station, which was commissioned during the war and operational between 1941 and 1946.
It was built in fields between Andreas and Bride villages.
Now it’s used by light aircraft and a gliding club.
