The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HIOWAA) has been scrambled to the Island following a serious road traffic collision at Yaverland today (Thursday).
Emergency crews were first called to Yaverland Road near the entrance to Sandown Bay Holiday Centre at around 11:00 following reports of a road traffic collision.
Several resources from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service, including an Operational Commander, were quickly dispatched to the scene, joining units from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary at crash site.
Such was the severity of the incident, HIOWAA has landed behind Yaverland Sailing and Boating Club.
