Police and paramedics are in attendance on Ryde Esplanade where a child has been hit by a car this evening (Monday).
The Isle of Wight Ambulance Service has an enhanced care paramedic, ambulance crew and an operational commander on scene near to Peter Pan’s.
Medics are currently tending to a child, understood to be a young girl.
Police have closed the road in both directions between the Superbowl roundabout and North Walk.
Emergency services were alerted to the incident at around 19:00.
The area is especially busy with locals and tourists alike enjoying live music on Eastern Gardens.
UPDATE @ 20:23 – The young girl has been conveyed to St Mary’s Hospital for further treatment.
UPDATE TUESDAY – It has been confirmed that the 10-year-old girl suffered a serious leg injury as a result of a collision with a Ford Galaxy.
The girl’s father says she is due to be discharged from hospital shortly.
Here we go again, more idiots will be along soon…..slow slow slow in busy areas…
Ambulance taking her to hospital now, alive, thankfully.
Best wishes to the child and her family, I hope she makes a full & Speedy recovery , on a side note it’s a busy road at the best of times
Thank you , that is my nieces daughter, even responsible people get caught up in accidents
More idiotic island driving. Hope the child is ok and pulls through
Sorry but no offence to the child and I do hope she’s well but how is that an idiot driver? The car is driving on the road where it’s ment to be & a child runs out into the road where it’s not ment to be?? Purely an accident not idiot drivers!
Probably in a dream world while on her phone.
Truth hurts doesn’t it.Now Be quiet you low life foul mouthed scum!
I’m not your mate!!!
learn how to spell actually correctly you dummy dum dum.
OMG GLENN ISHAM You have no room to judge anyone Go crawl back under your stone Horrible person
That happens to be my nieces daughter, she has no phone and was in the wrong place at the wrong time accidents happen think before you utter moronic hypothesis
See needs to learn the green cross code asap!
More than likely just walked out in the road in a day dream without a phone,aka JAYWALKING!!!
These HWs (Half Wits) really need to be taught how to drive.
Was you there then,these idiot comments on here people judging .Hope the girl make a quick recovery
Police should be patroling this area for drug drivers speeding etc its always bad
I have honestly never known such idiots in my life. The HWs (Half Wits) are really a driving breed of their own.
Think your one too
Probably drug driving
I feel sorry for the young girl, hopefully be okay. But who was at fault? Could be PARENT(s) not holding child’s hand, teaching child NOT to go into road, but maybe car driver fault too.. One never knows until know what and how it happened… as for Speeding vehicles in that area, and all along the front, yes lots of them and those stupid little motorbikes with loud back firing exhaust !! Years ago I saw a child just dash out into road, straight into front of a car…. not drivers fault… bad outcome though. Lessons to be learnt from both sides..
She was meant to be with a group of other girls who went off and left her .
This has happened to me twice, at low speed and fortunately without contact, and the parents apologised to me.
