Police, fire and ambulance crews are attending a crash on Middle Road near Calbourne this evening (Thursday).
The incident, which involved a single, has occurred on the Freshwater side of the junction with Calbourne Mill.
The road is reported to be blocked in both directions with motorists being turned away from the area.
Emergency services responded to the scene shortly before 20:30.
UPDATE @ 21:30 – It has been confirmed that a single vehicle left the road, resulting in a man in his 20s being treated by paramedics for minor injuries.
He has been passed into the care of the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service.
An Isle of Wight Fire & Rescue Service Co-Responder from Freshwater and a Paramedic Officer from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service were also on scene.
Emergency services have now stood down from the incident.
Before Phil McCavity and Ben dover come out with their classic one liners, just a pre-emptive thought here. Lets hope the paramedics make sure the drivers right foot is okay. Glad there was no specific injuries tho, shame about the car.
I’m a little stupid
Whoever adjudicates this and pretending to be me cannot be very bright as at 08.11 I was out on my motorcycle trying not to have an accident? As my reply to JHVF below was omitted when i replied to his post about the most common cause in the majority of off road incidents being the drivers right foot as the answer to his question. But then perhaps its not really me writing this? And to reply to my own post saying Im a little stupid I would think that whoever that was does not have the same email address as me. But then whoever adjudicates or vetts the posts for the Echo didnt really notice that there is a difference but then you would have to be very bright to do that and that is obviously not the case on this one.
I see Garry Fry has (or had) a new car…
???????
I think will has a little crush on Gary.
More bad driving on the I o w
Bit late this time phil
That wasn’t predictable was it.
Has anyone totted up the number of single vehicle ‘Off-Road’ incidents already this year, there must be a common cause in the majority of cases. (Sometimes, of course, its into other people instead of the hedge) Phones ? Sat nav ?
See above
No mate, just stupidity !
Right foot.
Another young one driving like a arse
Instead of the usual old farts putting their cars on their roofs because they drive along bouncing off the curbs / raised hedge row. We’ve all seen them.
There is also some older bad drivers
