First crash on Mountain minutes after route went one way

Police say they dealt with their first crash on the Mountain Road yesterday - just 20 minutes after the route had re-opened as one way.

TT 2016 officially gets underway today - officers are pleading with people to ride or drive at a 'sensible speed'.

They say they don't want people to be remembered by a 'weather beaten memorial' at the side of the road.
