The Mountain Road has reopened following two car crashes that took place in quick succession this morning.
They happened at Windy Corner and at the 33rd Milestone.
Police have warned drivers to ‘be mindful of changing road conditions on frosty mornings where the sun hasn’t warmed up the road surface’.
Douglas fire station officer Tony Duncan said crews had attended one of the incidents, where a woman had to be freed from her car.
‘At 9.07am one pumping appliance, enhanced rescue vehicle and duty officer from Douglas Station were mobilised to the report of a single vehicle road traffic collision on the Mountain Road,’ he said.
‘A separate road traffic collision, also on the Mountain Road, was being dealt with by the police at the same time.
‘On arrival, crews liaised with ambulance personnel on scene, made the vehicle safe and then worked together to extricate the female driver of the car, who had suffered minor injuries.
‘Fire crews were in attendance for approximately one hour.’
