A 43-year-old man is said to be in a life-threatening condition in Southampton General Hospital following a collision between a car and tractor near Cowes yesterday morning (Monday).
As previously reported by Island Echo, a car was involved in a collision with a tractor on Newport Road by the Isle of Wight County Show Ground and caught fire at around 06:00 yesterday morning, resulting in the road being closed for a short time.
Today, Hampshire Constabulary have confirmed that the driver of a Black Mazda 2 TS has suffered severe head injuries and having been initially taken to St Mary’s Hospital, has since been transferred to Southampton General Hospital, as reported by Island Echo earlier today.
A Collision Investigation Unit from the mainland has been examining the scene as Police try to piece together the events of the serious collision.
Anyone with any information or who saw the collision is asked to contact PC Peni Houghton at Fratton Road Policing Unit on 101. Information can also be given anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
