Two casualties have received treatment from paramedics following a crash near Braddan Bridge.

The incident happened around 5pm at the Braddan Church roundabout.

Traffic has been diverted onto Strang Road at Union Mills and up Braddan Road as a result of the incident.

Emergency services say they removed two occupants from one of the vehicles involved in the incident before treating them at the scene for minor injuries.

A spokesperson for the Isle of Man Fire Service initially said that the casualties would be transferred to Noble’s Hospital but later revised the statement.

An eyewitness at the scene said that vehicles were initially being ‘turned away’ from the scene by emergency services and the road was shut in the immediate aftermath of the crash.

Traffic was also said to be heavy around the two roundabouts near the hospital.
