Ten spectators were taken to hospital following a crash on the opening lap of the Senior TT race in the Isle of Man.

Race organisers said "none of the injuries are life threatening although one person has been seriously injured".

It happened on Friday, just after 13:00 BST, on Bray Hill when a rider crashed on the fast downhill section less than a mile from the start.

The rider involved, Barnsley's Jonathan Howarth, sustained a minor fracture.

ACU Events Ltd said in a statement that five spectators remained in hospital for treatment, one in the emergency department.

Witness Stuart Plant described the scene as "chaos" and said he saw "flying debris".

He said it looked like the bike "hit the crowd opposite at some speed".

The race was subsequently red-flagged.
