Mercer moved off critical care ward

The TT rider who collided with a course car during practice week has been moved out of the critical care ward.

Steve Mercer has been receiving treatment at a Merseyside hospital since the incident at Ballacrye in May.

An update on his Facebook page confirmed Mercer is now on a normal ward, but was unable to provide further details of his condition.

The ACU and local authorities are carrying out investigations into the collision, which happened under red flag conditions.
