Harte in hospital after car crash

Mickey Harte

Tyrone's All-Ireland winning manager Mickey Harte has been taken to hospital after sustaining cuts and bruises in a car accident on Tuesday morning.

The accident is understood to have happened near Carrickmore and Tyrone GAA sources told BBC Sport that Harte's car "had gone off the road".

There were reports that a lorry was also involved in the incident.

The Tyrone manager was able to walk away from his car but he was then taken to Craigavon Hospital.

One bystander at the scene of the accident said that Harte's car was a "write-off".

After news emerged of the accident at 1100 BST on the Whitebridge Road near Carrickmore, a GAA spokesman in Tyrone said there was relief that the manager had not been seriously injured.

"Tyrone County Board would wish him a speedy recovery," said the spokesman.

Since the county's footballers were crowned all-Ireland champions last month, the manager has been in demand at a string of events.

"We know he has a busy schedule, but we hope he will take his time now to recover," said the GAA spokesman.

"Hopefully he will be back as soon as possible."
