Police plea to 'avoid travel' after numerous crashes across Island

Many areas affected by icy conditions

Police have reiterated their plea for people to avoid travelling today, after a number of crashes across the Island this morning.

There's been a collision at Port Jack involving a vehicle and a pedestrian, where people are asked to avoid the area.

It follows numerous other crashes reported, in Douglas - one near Tesco and another on Brighton Terrace, in Foxdale, and on Wheel Hill in Laxey. 

Officers are urging people to avoid travel on the roads, as icy conditions are causing issues in many areas.
