A pedestrian is thought to have sustained injuries after being struck during a collision between a car and a motorcycle on Sandown Broadway this afternoon (Friday).
The collision, which occurred at around 17:30 at the junction of Broadway and Leed Street, saw reports made of an elderly woman being struck by a car.
3 ambulances are on scene as well as 2 units from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary who have carried out a roadside drugs and alcohol test on the rider.
It is unknown how the accident occurred, with a white Hyundai having mounted the pavement, destroying street furniture, and a motorcycle – seemingly undamaged -involved too.
The condition of the patient is currently unknown.
Island Echo has come to believe that no arrests have been made as a result of the peculiar incident.
UPDATE SATURDAY – Police have confirmed that minor injuries were sustained in yesterday’s collision, involving a motorcycle and a car.
more utter shit driving..
August seems to be the record for accidents on island roads.
SHOCKING
On a completely different matter.
No wonder the Police are no longer ‘respected’…
what on earth is that hairstyle that the ‘lady’ Police Officer is sporting all about?!
Let standards slip and we all know what the result is.
Far too much pandering to the ‘it’s my right’ beigade!
I saw a couple of female officers this evening

Would never have happened in the old days there
used to be standards to join the force.
Most of the accidents seem to be motorcycles and thats not even the fault of scooter rally
The Island is full of motorbikes riding around with
L plates on them.
Do Motorcyclists ever take a test on the Island.
