Bike visitors urged to take care
15 Jun 2007
Bikers visiting the Isle of Man are being urged to take more care on the roads as the TT Centenary Festival comes to a close.
Emergency services have been stretched over the last 24 hours after a number of accidents around the island.
In the latest, a biker was seriously injured in a collision with a lorry on the Douglas to Ramsey coast road.
Insp Derek Flint, of the Isle of Man Constabulary, said he expected the force's busy period to continue.
Insp Flint said people would be out on their bikes around the island all day long as the fortnight drew to a close.
"Stop and have a drink of water and take it a bit more easy than perhaps you have been doing," he said.
He added that further incidents would "stretch" the island's emergency services.
