Grianane Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 does anyone know what was going on at the Ramsey bus station last night. I vaguely remember seeing lots of blue lights and firemen about. was it a crash or fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelslikeitshould Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 No fire engines, lots of police though. Looked like a pedestrian may have been hit by a car, from what I could see driving past, there was only 1 stationry car in the middle of the road. That's what it looked like but there was no-one in the car or lying in the road, no ambulance at that point so one can only speculate..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdose Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Came across that too, road closed from Albert Rd junction up to May Hill, lot's of police and the usual DoT workers stood around with their hand in their pockets. No idea what was going on, but quite a sight to see with all the blue lights going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 about 6pm saw blue lights in the distance from Douglas, they were on up the mountain road, around the Brandish area, wondered what was on, was that about the time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff Buford T. Justice Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yep. Unfortunately, someone got mowed down by a car. Don't know any more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilDDog Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Came across that too, road closed from Albert Rd junction up to May Hill, lot's of police and the usual DoT workers stood around with their hand in their pockets. No idea what was going on, but quite a sight to see with all the blue lights going. Why would there be the usual DOT at the scene? I recall a sweeper with one man driving it. As I understand it, DOT don't attend accidents unless called for by the police and that's usually only for a sweeper to sweep up oil and glass. I've seen other DOT men fixing fences on the mountain when crashed cars and bikes have wrecked them, this is done to stop the sheep getting on the road and causing more accidents. There were a lot of firemen and police on the scene, I can only summize that it must have been those guys and gals your referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdose Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Nope, DoT wagon/truck at the Mayhill side of the closure parked next to the police, two workers stood around kicking their heels. I wouldn't have posted it if I hadn't have noticed them...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 The road was closed so that investigations could be made into the accident. Rather than tying up the police, the DOT were asked to bring some barriers to close the road with. And on Monday morning there was a possibility of snow/ice. It missed us but got the UK: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/mid/7101586.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7102176.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
