The A18 Mountain Road was closed on the morning of Tuesday 10 November because of a vehicle fire near the Bungalow and the Victory Café, Manx Radio and Isle of Man Today reported. Isle of Man Today later said the road had reopened to traffic.

According to both outlets, the Emergency Services Joint Control Room confirmed that the route could not be used while crews were at the scene.

Drivers had been urged to use other roads and to keep away from the area if they could, Isle of Man Today reported. The outlet described the incident as the second vehicle fire of the morning to close a road on the island.

No further information about the fire has been released, Isle of Man Today said.
