TT ace Peter Hickman's team says technical staff were involved in a car crash involving a vehicle he'd been given to come to this year's festival in.

The car, which had been given to the team by a sponsor, was at the centre of a police appeal in Northern Ireland after the crash.

The green BMW damaged a number of walls on Station Road in Portstewart in the early hours of this morning.

In a statement, FHO Racing says a team technical staff member was involved, together with two other team technical staff passengers, and the matter is being dealt with by police.
