A fundraiser has been launched for the family of 21 year old Nesta Haselden, who died following a crash in Peel on Wednesday.

The incident, which involved two vehicles and one motorbike, happened close to the Queen Elizabeth II High School (QEII) on Douglas Road in Peel at around 4.18pm on Wednesday, August 7.

The fundraiser was put together by Melissa Menton from Peel, who said: ‘Following on from the tragic news regarding the accident and the unfortunate death of local Peel man Nesta Haselden, many local people have decided they would like to help and we have decided to raise funds for his family.

‘These funds will go towards any funeral costs, travel costs for family members and any support they may need over the coming months.

‘Any donations at all and I’m sure the family will be so very grateful.’

A number of flowers have also been laid at the scene on Douglas Road in the form of a tribute to Nesta since the accident.

The Isle of Man Constabulary has confirmed that two male drivers who were arrested in the wake of the incident have since been bailed pending further enquiries.
