A 27-year-old man has been killed after a car crash in the early hours of this morning.

The collision, which involved a single blue Ford Focus, happened at around 6.50am near to Alpine Corner.

He's been named locally as Jamie Cowhig - a Facebook tribute page has now been set up to pay tribute to him.

The main Kirk Michael to Ballaugh road was closed for six hours whilst investigators worked at the scene.

Police are appealing for anyone who saw the car, which was travelling towards Ramsey, to come forward.
