“ the second involving a Ford Fiesta” in Shanklin today.
A third Ford Fiesta was involved in a crash at Wootton this afternoon.
Yes – and the first two fiestas are the same silver/blue colour – but hope everyone is ok.
You mean “old lady blue?”, lol
The little blue car was almost certainly a Granny Mobile with every pedal being the brake… Or the accelerator!
All ford’s should be banned, too many idiots drive them…
Im just suprised that none of them were ST’s, old farts are a menace
Why don’t you go and boil your head?
Looky here boyz, we found ourselves a fiesta ST driver/ old fart
Ron, judging by ExtraD’s comment it already has been!
You are are a waste of space Engage your brain before commenting or don’t bother
Can’t wait for you to get to the old fart stage , ignorant twat. Let’s see how you’d like it then . Oh wait cos the youngsters with no road or life experience are such experts . Moronic comment
Too many idiots like youself comment on here as well, most can’t even afford a “ford”
Most probably don’t even have a licence or car.
You need help.
Hi Stuart please leave the children alone
Me thinks you doth protest too much…
Hope all involved are OK.
Three ‘accidents’ so far today and all vehicles still upright, are things improving ?
Three accidents in one day during half term. Are the kids doing the driving?
yes need more on roof jobs ..at least we can have a on the side job ..another one to come shortly..
every body except the R N L I involved
Ok. Get yourself a cheap runaround third party or no insurance then get behind the wheel and drive it like you stole it. Crashes everyday now like this becoming the norm. My damage rating 4 out of 10 plus1 for the sign nobody read 5/10. Sweet more soon please.
Somebody get the bumper car ride open at Shanklin seems loads of people can’t wait and are practicing on island roads. Think you take your life in your hands every time you get behind the wheel now good job nobody was walking along the pavement.
Oh come on really?? bloody dreadful driving again on the isle 2/3/4 times a day at the moment whats going on
That’s Uber drivers for you delivering the fast food
The ‘give way’ sign is ironic. I presume one of them did not.
Why do police bother investigating when all the collision experts are right here? Haha
More old driving on the isle of wight
