Successful surgery for Manx S100 rider after crash

The family of a Manx rider who crashed during the Southern 100 earlier this week says his surgery has gone well.

Grant Thomson came off at Church Bends and was flown to Aintree Hospital for treatment.

In a post on social media, Catriona Thomson says he's now had an operation to fix his broken ribs, and come out of sedation.

Meanwhile a fundraiser to support him has raised over £3,000 - you can find out more and donate here.
