The main road between Carisbrooke and Chillerton has been closed as a result of a road traffic collision this afternoon (Wednesday).
Emergency services are on scene at Whitcombe Road having been alerted to the incident at just gone 14:00.
Island Echo understands a Mitshubishi L200 4×4 has ended up on its roof.
Southern Vectis say their Route 6 buses are on diversion and will not serve stops between Drill Hall Road and Highwood Lane.
UPDATE @ 15:33 – The vehicle has now been recovered by Stag Lane Motors and the road has re-opened.
What’s going on on this island 3days and 5 rtc’s already what it helping iver here have people forgot how to drive since lockdown ???
Yes they have forgot how to drive
No, its the normal standard of driving here and nothing to do with lockdown, iow has the worst standard of driving and drivers I have ever witnessed, makes you wonder how most drivers on the island managed to pass in the first instance.
I have never known a place where so many vehicles end up on their roof.
The island is a magnetic island so cars flip and magnetically stick to roof
It’s Beethoven all over again and again and again .
Was there moments after it happened.. Looked very nasty.
Maybe they are testing hands free driving.
We all see the dangerous idiots on our roads every day, we can’t drive anywhere without an idiot driving too fast, or too close to your rear.
We know there an accident waiting to happen, sooner or later…and we are powerless to do anything about it..
Must admit I sometimes feel like stopping the car and asking them the question ….. if you would like to mate with my car can you please at least get to know the owner 1st !!!!!!
What u doing next Saturday then … lol
Trouble is, confronting these dangerous idiots that are already out of their mind’s, you are likely to be attacked.
In reality, they are sycophantic and possibly drugged up, I often just pull over and let them pass if it’s safe to do so..
So sorry, bloody prodictive text, I meant psychopathic..
Don’t worry predictive text happens to us all .
I have to say I do pull over if possible but sometimes it’s just not possible!!!
Ummm… @dangerousidiots were nowhere near this.
It is not mainland drivers, it is islanders, getting complacent about the roads. They think they can see around corners, bends and hills,then going to fast for the road. I went past this crash just after it happened. It was pretty shocking
Ok. What is more frightening, Island drivers, or the prospect of driverless cars being legalised?
Be honest, think about it.
You forgot to add the 2 smarts, smart scooters and smart motorways including your 2 i think all 4 areas are as dangerous as each other to be honest.
Is there a difference?
