Road to hospital main entrance reopens after crash

Access to the main entrance was closed for several hours on Wednesday morning

The access road to the main entrance at the Isle of Man's largest hospital has reopened after a heavy goods vehicle that crashed nearby was recovered.

The incident, which happened before 09:00 BST and saw the vehicle left on its side, had forced the closure of the access road to the main door of Noble's Hospital.

The police confirmed the road had reopened shortly after 13:00 after the scene had been cleared.

Manx Care confirmed one patient was in a "stable condition" at the hospital following the crash, and access to the main entrance had now "returned to normal".

People attending the hospital had been told to use the entrance at the Accident and Emergency Department instead.

Bus Vannin services to the facility were also affected, but they have since resumed their usual routes.
