Bay View Road To Remain Closed For Atleast A Week.

Reports That Burst Water Main Caused Landslide.

There's uncertainty this hour about whether Port Saint Mary residents will be able to return to their homes today.

An embankment collapsed last night at Happy Valley just under bay view road.

12 properties were forced to be evacuated.

A refuge was set up at the town hall, although many stayed in friends houses.

There are reports that it was caused by a burst water main.

The water is still off in the area to prevent any further damage.

Although rain is forecast for tonight.

Police have said that Bay View Road is expected to stay closed for the next week at least.
