Two people remain on police bail following a fatal car crash last month.

The Isle of Man Constabulary hasn’t released any further details but says the two - who were arrested for causing death by dangerous driving - have been bailed until mid-May.

14-year-old Lucia Porter lost her life after the car she was travelling in, along with seven other teenagers, crashed on the Switchback Road near Peel on March 8^th.

Yesterday the inquest into her death was opened and adjourned.

The medical cause of death has yet to be established although the court heard she suffered multiple injuries to her head and spine.

Police say the investigation into the tragedy continues.
