A schoolboy has set up a petition calling on the Manx Government to make the Switchback Road safer.
Lewis Barritt - who is 16 and a student at Castle Rushen High School - says he was inspired to set it up following a tragic accident at the weekend.
On Saturday night 14-year-old Lucia Porter was killed when the car she was travelling in left the road and crashed in a field.
The petition, which has been signed by nearly 900 people, is calling on the Department of Infrastructure to introduce a speed limit and other safety precautions.
Lewis says he feels something must be done:
Chilly forecast means move for chilli festival
Hunt for fly-tippers who dumped white goods
Final Mountain Road MGP closure today
Two candidates to battle out Marown by-election
Barclays Bank to remove three cash machines
Firefighter takes on running challenge to mark 9/11
Nearly 100 pyjamas donated to children's ward
Post Office release Manx treasure stamps
