Thursday, 11 July 2013 00:00

Racing has been halted at the Southern 100 following a serious accident in this morning’s 600CC B race.

It’s thought two riders were involved in the collision in the final lap of the race which had to be red flagged.

An air ambulance was deployed to the scene.

The police have closed the stretch of the course, and it is as yet unknown when it will be reopened, and if indeed there will be any further racing today.
