Police and paramedics are in attendance at a road traffic collision involving a motorcycle on the outskirts of Ryde this afternoon (Saturday).

Emergency services were alerted to the incident at around 17:00.
The road has been closed by Police with traffic being diverted locally via Binstead.
Stroudwood Road is expected to re-open shortly once recovery of the scooter has taken place.
UPDATE – The road has now reopened.
1 male has been taken to hospital with a suspected broken ankle after coming off his scooter.
More bad driving on the IW
You’re not even remotely funny, and it’s IOW!
Organ donor had a lucky escape though.
More low IQ commenting on the IOW. And you don’t drive a scooter or motorcycle, you ride it. But of course you are too stupid to know that I guess.
you don’t drive a scooter you ride it
Holiday makers are back, driving drunk or looking at their phones instead of the road.
And we are so perfect aren’t we, highest collision rate in Hampshire if not the south of England ALL YEAR ROUND!
were not in hampshire the ISLE OF WIGHT is its own County
Who do you vote for then?..president Putin…
Don’t vote for any, just cross out all the names on the ballots.. until eventually new people will arrive, hopefully without their wallets being filled by Ferry companies !! Building firms etc etc. New people that ACTUALLY care about this Island and the people and build a tunnel so Islanders can have a life !!
well you got something in common with him your both prats
Only on a silly piece of paper first signed 1890 then again in 1974 to make it a ceremonial county. The IOW is the poor cousin to the mainland hence the need to rely on Hampshire police force and the fire and rescue service. “We are” instead of “were” would be better use of the English language.
Certainly wish it was mate… but sadly no. Island is part of Hampshire, all services headquarters have been moved to mainland.. and also major hospital ops have been moved to mainland too. Hence Island has no money to get anything done, Hampshire get it all !!!
Probably on drugs too!
My nephew is the person you’re talking about. Doesn’t do drugs and never has!!!
It’s the dumb ignorant island drivers that are the problem..Idiot
Well your one of them then
It’s spelt you’re not your!!!
Obviously never went to school.
Agree… yesterday I was following an island driver. Old boy and his wife. He was inches behind every car he followed from Ryde to Newport. I’m amazed he didn’t hit any of the cars.
Probably saved a fortune in fuel, keeping close !!
What was the excuse in the winter?
That is a terrible road and I go 40 and they are passing me 60 plus
National speed limit…. is NOT 40…. the roads are not terrible, just too many BAD, ignorant drivers…. If cannot drive, DON’T… simple. Why risk yours and others lives.. ?
Here we go again, more idiots will be along soon, and plenty of ignorant island drivers will blame our visitors..
Well alot of them forget how to drive when they come hear don’t they
A lot of Islanders have seemingly never ever had to even glance at Highway Code and adhere to it! Hell no far better to make up your own rules of the road, and blame some other poor sod”usually a convenient mainlander or a pensioner”… After all Islan drivers, are perfect”only in a majoritys one brain celled mind!.
why not there just as bad
“their” or they’re (they are) would be more suitable
Don’t waste your time. You can’t educate stupid.
Two out of three ain’t bad.
I wish IE would spell check.
Can look forward to more scooter crashes very soon…
Typical scooterist, riding wherever they want, up on pavements even, they simply don’t give a damn where they ride them it seems,
My nephew, wasn’t reckless drunk or on drugs. Wasn’t speeding either !
Why do we have such silly comments which don’t serve Any purpose, just show the mentality of a few of the readers.
I agree the comments never reflect the story I hope the scooter rider recovers from his ordeal. At least he didn’t land upside down like the car drivers !!
This was my nephew back from uni. He was not drinking or on drugs as confirmed by the police. He wasn’t riding recklessly either. Please keep the negative and judgemental comments to yourself. NOT needed or necessary. Wishing my lovely nephew lots of love and hugs !!
I was going to make a comment. However having read the moronic comments above I decided not to.
I’m just loving the back n forth!!
