Racer critical after TT crash
A collision in a practice session for the Isle of Man TT races has a rider critical in hospital.
Seamus Greene, a member of the Martin Bullock Raceteam, collided with Jun Maeda in Monday night's session.
Both racers were flown from the course by helicopter, with Mr Greene later being transferred to Walton Hospital in Liverpool.
Team manager Martin Bullock said of the crash: "Seamus has head injuries and his condition is described as critical."

"Our thoughts and prayers are with Seamus and his family and friends at this time."
The accident comes after a sidecar competitor, James Cornell, was involved in a crash during a practice session on Saturday night.
His condition remains critical, while his driver has been described by medical staff as "fairly comfortable".
The Tourist Trophy Races have been a prominent event on the Isle of Man since 1904, when speed restrictions forced organisers to look beyond the UK mainland.
All bikers are reminded of the importance of effective motorbike insurance in such dangerous conditions.
