A 2-vehicle RTC which saw a van plough into the back of a Southern Vectis bus forced the temporary closure of Emmett Hill yesterday afternoon (Friday).
Emergency services were called to the rural Chale Road shortly before 16:24 following a collision which caused significant damage to both vehicles.
The incident prompted a response from police, who blocked access through the road for roughly 90 minutes whilst recovery of the vehicles and clean-up took place.
A spokesperson from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary said officers were called at 16:24 to reports of the collision involving a bus and a van.
It has been revealed that 1 person sustained a minor injury as a result of the collision, which left fuel and oil spilt across the carriageway
Once the damaged van had been recovered, a Stag Lane bus and coach recovery vehicle attended to tow the Southern Vectis Route 6 bus back to the operator’s Nelson Road depot, where it will undergo repairs.
