Emergency services are attending a crash in which a car has ended up on its roof at Niton Undercliff this morning (Saturday).
The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service mobilised 2 appliances from Newport and Ventnor to the scene on St Catherine’s Road at 05:59.
Reports were received of a person trapped inside an overturned vehicle. However, upon arrival of fire crews, it was discovered the driver had freed themselves from the wreckage. Scene safety was carried out.
The casualty has now been taken to St Mary’s Hospital, Newport for treatment.
Police are on scene and have arranged recovery of the vehicle.
It is unclear at this stage how the car has ended up on its roof. No other vehicles have been involved.
Must be something in the water, as this is happening a lot of late… Can’t all be medical episodes 🙂
Who knows what happened in this case.
But two things need sorting, phone use is already illegal. but much ignored and displays not essential to driving eg Sat Navs should be also made illegal. Drivers need to look where they’re going
speed
Definitely, 89 year olds driving Citroens are well known to be speed demons…
Drive badly or inconsiderately = Accident.
More bad driving on the I o w

island driver
Wow must be the roads as all the vehicles and up on their roof on this island
Rolling one’s car at 6am is an old island tradition. Stop trying to destroy our culture.
