Failed ISLE OF WIGHT CRASH RECORD. Still on 4 wheels.
There’s something about Stroudwood Road, it must hold the Island record for ‘Offroaders’
Many of these accidents are a waste of emergency services time.
Last week I saw a PCSO in Sandown with an elderly person who was laying on
the ground waiting for an Ambulance.
Emergency services play an important role in our lives and can do without persons
who speed, drink or drug drive causing them unnessecary work while they can be
spending their time dealing with real issues, not self inflicted issues.
More drugged up or drink drivers will be along soon…
The island’s road have managed to ‘gobble up’ another reckless, speeding driver and dump the BMW in a field! You have to give the roads greater respect and SLOW DOWN or they’ll get ya!!!!!
IF drunk or likely drugged, let’s hope the injuries remain a permanent reminder of the night they endangered other innocent peoples lives.
Let’s hope they are not permanently injured instead realise they still have their life and are not indispensable.
Don’t you want to tarmac it? Oh yeah it’s already tarmac
Why not find out the facts first you stupid idiot!
Well at least it wasn’t an Audi for a change
Just another case of ‘ambition exceeding ability’ or ‘expectations exceeding reality’ or just not understanding the laws of physics. In all cases a heavy right foot plays its part. Hopefully the occupants are not badly injured.
anther island driver drunk or drugs or speeding
