Police have thanked members of the public for their help after a fatal crash on the Mountain Road on Sunday.

A motorcyclist from Merseyside was involved in a three-vehicle crash between the Creg Ny Baa and Brandish corner at around 11.20am.

"If anyone who saw the incident who has not already given their details are asked to contact Police Headquarters on 01624 631212.
