Investigations are continuing into a fatal road traffic collision on Saturday night which claimed the life of a local 14 year old girl.

It happened at 11.14pm on the Switchback Road near to Peel - the girl has been named locally as St Ninian's pupil, Lucia Porter. 

Upon arrival at the scene emergency services found the vehicle in a field adjacent to the road.

Police say there were eight teenagers in the car - five are in Noble's Hospital receiving treatment for their injuries.
