A van has collided into the rear of a car, which in turn has caused a pile up involving 2 other vehicles, on the northbound dual carriageway in Newport this afternoon (Saturday).
Police and the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service are in attendance on Medina Way having been called to the scene at around 14:15.
3 cars and a Luton van have been involved in the low-speed collision.
Traffic is heavy in the area whilst the incident is dealt with by the emergency services.
Motorists should divert via Riverway.

















































































It’s not covid shutdown we need, it’s island drivers that need a shutdown….
Sorry that makes no sense
So many perfect drivers commenting on here,surprised the Island has any RTC’s ??
Do you have form then? It sounds like you do???
Awkward moment when I was the youngest ever female to gain a coach licence in the UK 9 years ago…. I’ve always been an “island driver” so kind of puts your argument to shame when an island driver most likely has a more advanced licence than you……
Bore off
As an HGV drive myself, I don’t think so!!
Will all get far, far worse when thousands more homes are shoe horned into Ryde, with even more cars then on our small, narrow, congested road system.
Vote this greedy council OUT at the next given chance.
I will definitely second that!!!
Vote them out and get a left wing council, if you think they will reduce the population of this island your living in cloud cookoo land..
Thay are pro high population, where have you been since Tony Blair’s government???
And whom pray are they going to replaced by? There will be another Tory, a tree huger, a dithering liberal, a wanna be Marxist. The usual parade of candidates who by putting themselves up for election immediately provide evidence for their unsuitability.
Fully AGREE with both T8 and Truth, so expect no better, but leaving such in power, only makes them more corrupt, useless and lazy.
If they are all OUT, then it is a little reminder to those next in, that they can’t just ‘do’ what they want, without some repercussions.
We can only guess how bad any other may or may not be. We already know how bad this lot are. Let’s just get rid!
Told you lot ages ago, but was voted down. Now you’re coming round, you must vote, but do not vote for any of the main parties, they are all driven by ambition and greed. The old 3 party system is full of university graduates with political degrees and no experience of real life.
Vote for anyone else, make your own decision
Low speed so no one was hurt. But Again police out in Force, Even when they say they DON’T, IF nobody is injured, yet another piss take. When my granddaughter hit a tree in the middle of the road at 6am in the morning all alone they wouldn’t come out to help a 22 year old girl with a rite off car .pathetic
Imagine if they didn’t have to deal with people thst assault emergency service workers.

Speed kills better to be late on arrival than DEAD on time
It looks like the van from Bedfordshire was at fault then.
Very good, I see what you’ve done there
Thanks Bob. I think we all need a dash of humour in these trying times.
