A 32-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of a host of motoring offences after a woman was airlifted to hospital following a serious road traffic collision in the early hours of this morning (Sunday).
Police were called at around 00:15 to reports of a single vehicle collision involving a Seat Leon on Military Road between Brook and Freshwater Bay.
At the scene, officers discovered that a 30-year-old women had sustained injuries to her leg and chest, prompting the scrambling of the Hampshire Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HIOWAA) from its Thruxton base.
Having made its way south, the helicopter landed in a field off Military Road at Compton, spending around 1-hour on scene before conveying the patient to Southampton General Hospital at around 02:30.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary has since confirmed that the injuries sustained by the woman are not considered life-threatening or life-changing.
As part of their investigations, a 32-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle when alcohol level above limit, driving motor vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit, driving a motor vehicle other than in accordance with a licence, causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving whilst unfit through drink.
He has been bailed while enquiries continue.
I am fed up reading about all the p*ssheads on
Island Roads.
Time to get tough with them, Enough is Enough!
Such unnesseccary accidents put pressure on the
overwhelmed NHS
The bill should be sent to the drunk driver!
Agree
You’ll be happy to know, Mr Enough, that such a system has been in place in the UK for many years. Under most common circumstances the NHS, including the ambulance service, can recover costs from the insurers of ‘at fault’ vehicles. One strange anomaly is that the Fire Service can’t.
Bet she was a classy young lady too hanging around with that sort.
Numpties usually attract Numpties.
More utter filth scum..get him to pay for all emergency costs costing thousands see if he likes it..banned for 10 years or more huge fines ..but we all know nothing will happen.
Well said, it’s no wonder the NHS is in dire straits!
Dang, when will these idiots learn that you actually need to be taught how to drive. Hope he faces the full force of the law when eventually in court.
There needs to be more traffic Police patrolling island roads.
Islandwide parking permit charges and ULEZ charges etc would
help pay for the extra Police required.
Put a sock in it you NUMPTY or take up a hobby to fill up your time instead of waiting for the latest story to appear on here so you can make your ridiculous comments.
