Emergency services have rushed to Sainsbury’s Petrol Station in Newport this morning (Friday) where a car has careered into the petrol station kiosk.
Police, fire crews and paramedics are currently at the scene on Hunnycross Way having received reports of a road traffic collision at around 11:30.
Fire appliances from Newport and Ryde, as well as several resources from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service, have been called to the scene.
A Ford Puma – driven by what Island Echo understands to be an elderly male – has crashed into the rear of a Dacia before then smashing into the front of the brick-built kiosk.
Those involved in the smash have been helped from their vehicles by emergency service personnel. It is believed that no serious injuries have been sustained.
UPDATE @ 12:30 – It has been confirmed that a total of 3 casualties are being tended to by paramedics; 2 elderly individuals from the Puma and the driver of the Dacia.
Firefighters are currently erecting a cordon around the petrol station as they prepared to stand down from the incident.
Sainsbury’s Petrol Station is expected to remain closed for the foreseeable future.
I didn’t know Sainsbury’s had a drive-thru!
Driving on the Island is getting worse by the day.
It’s one of your mates.
nothings going to change until we reduce the speed limits. We need speed bumps and cameras every 2 meters on the forecourt
You are correct
The island does need speed cameras and
speed humps everywhere.
We need to slow down the Numpty’s

That’s one way of doing self service.
The car drove INTO the wall… *meaning of Through, ‘moving in one side and out of the other side of (an opening, channel, or location)’
Never let the truth get in the way of a story or sensationalism, the quality of reporting here is getting worse.

Hmmm indeed, and how do people over 70 retain their licences so easily?
