A man suspected of drink driving, as well as a man suspected of common assault causing actual bodily harm, have been arrested following the incident that took place last night (Saturday).
As previously reported by Island Echo, the crash, which took place along Ryde Esplanade, has been confirmed by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary to have taken place at 22:41, where a red Mitsubishi L200 collided with a lamp post and a large exotic plant, forcing the vehicle onto its side.
This morning, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary confirmed that a 31-year-old man from Cowes was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink.
A second arrest was also made of a 54-year-old man from Ryde on suspicion of common assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Both of the accused are currently being held in Police custody at Newport Police Station.
More utter scum who pays for all this ? Not them so just laugh at the pathetic punishment they get.
Very true. And that’s where much of our money goes to pay for these people, in one way or another.
We should stop their benefits.
All drink drivers need banging up.
There is no law and order, did they ever catch the Numpty
who smashed into the traffic lights at Lake!
That affected everyone for 3 months, I can only imagine
must have friends in the right places.
I’ve heard there are a lot of exotic plants in Ryde, many indoors.
Did you rush to post that excitedly thinking it was oh so funny? Now you refresh to see if any six people who bother reading Island Echo comments find it funny too. (it’s not).
I thought vosidis’s remark rather clever and apt and amusing. What was it that distressed you so, peloprop?
whilst it may not have been particularly funny,.. it was mildly amusing.. (better than some comments on here)..
and it’s probably quite true..
Is that pelo or do you drop the L for D
Cannabis is rife on the island, bit like speeding.
We need more law and order on the island.
