A car has left the road and come to rest deep in the ditches on the main Sandown to Bembridge road this morning (Monday).
It was at around 09:00 that emergency services responded to Sandown Road, near the entrance to Culver Down.
It had been reported that a vehicle – a blue Ford Galaxy – had left the carriageway and was on its side.
Police responded to the scene, alongside resources from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service. Hampshrer & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service mobilised crews from Ryde and Shanklin.
But emergency services didn’t remain on scene long, with no action taken.
It is unclear when exactly the motor left the road.
Sandown Road remains open as normal – with Marshcombe Shute still closed for unconnected roadworks.
ANOTHER Island Road that desperately requires speed cameras
and humps.
If the SO called authorities carried out checks along this Road
by parking in the layby and pointing a speed gun in both directions
they would have a field day
Pardon the pun!
20mph is plenty
It’s for sitting on. I use that road every day for work. I have not yet found
the layby you speak of, perhaps I too should be more observant.
If travelling from Bembridge it is just past the
entrance to The Culver Down.
you cant miss it on left side of the road past culver towards sandown.
Yawn
Tired, bless.
All that is required is a better standard of driving
Very true but it doesn’t happen on the island and
traffic police are rare.
Can’t park there mate
I blame the Audi driver
So many Audi drivers are Vorsprung durch techniq
numpties.
I woildn’t want an Audi F.O.C
