Fuel spill closes roads

Police say a huge diesel spill has closed roads along the West of the Island between Kirk Michael and Foxdale.

 

Officers say the fuel spill has left roads in a dangerous condition, and they’ve been forced to close some areas while they’re cleaned.

 

Foxdale Road between The Hope and The Shoulder Road remains closed, as does the TT Course between Ballig Bridge and Douglas Road Corner in Kirk Michael.

 

Isle of Man Transport says buses are being diverted via the Glen Darragh Road to Crosby and north via the Peel Coast road.
