A TT visitor has been fined after crossing the closed road at the Hillberry Green junction on Glencrutchery Road, Douglas, during Tuesday evening’s practice session.

The 35-year-old woman from Vanuatu in the South Pacific was charged with contravening a road closure order and was today fined a total of £1,500 by magistrates.

A police spokesman said roads are closed during practice and races for everyone’s safety. ’Anyone who contravenes road closures will be dealt with robustly,’ he said.
