A minor road traffic collision between a Southern Vectis bus and a Fiat 500 on a junction in Ryde is causing traffic delays this morning (Monday). A duo of Police vehicles were called to the scene at the junction with Cross Street and George Street at around 10:50, following reports of a crash between a bus and a Fiat 500. The incident has seen the Italian motor collide with the bus as it emerged from Melville Street. The route 8 was proceeding up George Street towards Ryde Library where a large group of passengers were waiting for pick up. Damage to the Fiat is very minor, with just the front right headlight and wing damaged. The Southern Vectis bus has sustained no damage at all. Island Echo understands that 2 bus passengers have sustained minor injuries. The involved vehicles have been moved from the middle of the road, with traffic flow almost back to normal. Those who were waiting for the bus are currently awaiting the next route 8 bus.

Honestly. Is that breaking News.How sad.
Fiat failing to give way see it all the time at that junction. Island full of impatient drivers, really need to give their heads a wobble
Just sit and lay gaze upon that lane positioning. Drugs, alcohol or age related issues I say. The other day, coming around a gentle bend, a little old ladys car was sat an entire car length from the giveway on the inside edge of the bend, terrifying.
The banner on the bus and its positioning seems almost too good to be real.
Given where the bits of car are on the road, I’d doubt it. Looks to me like the driver of the white car has backed up into the road after the accident, which they possibly had to do so the bus driver could exit the door.
Wow, and can’t reverse either?
After being hit by the bus her position will have changed? She’d also be quite badly shaken I’d have said.
Yes, however, looking at the front nearside of the bus, you will see some damage that shows the impact area…..
You don’t know that karen, you could bias any court case as some ‘poor’ person may have hidden injuries or mental health issues and this could cause anxiety.
You should not comment unless you know for sure.
THAT is how YOU are. ‘Do as I say’ not as I do. Perhaps you are on the council? Likely overqualified in wrong decision making, opinionated and woke, and far left views, even for modern standards.
A deeply unpopular being. Single I wager, if so, the ex must think he has died and gone to Heaven, and few ‘real’ friends and the few who are, very likely of the same obnoxious ilk.
So from a comment on a minor crash you can infer that I’m single or widowed, no friends, work for the council and vote Labour? And YOU think I shouldn’t make a comment without knowing facts? Critical thinking not your strong point dear, is it?
Well the Fiat driver dont look old to me
Another woman driver on her phone or putting her lipstick on, how could she not see a bus coming??…
Did the Fiat miss the Give Way markings?,
Most Caulkheads don’t understand why these white marks are put in place.
TO STOP AND GIVE WAY NUMPTY’S
Bus has right of way. And clearly marked give way signs coming from the side road.
I guess a two decker bus is such a hard object to see these days!
Let me guess the elderly driver didn’t see a massive bus
This is the sewer slime using my name, guessing it has some connection to the islands resident village idiot “king kev”, these troll posts are easy to spot as i am not ageist.
Oi reg you old goat time for night nights
Obviously the Fiat driver didn’t see the huge green bus?
We can see whose fault that was ! If you can’t see a big green bus you need specsavers
Worse than that, you need to hand in your licence.
How could you not see that big green bus
How is it possible NOT to see a Giant Bright Green Bus coming towards you??
Hope everyone was OK
Don’t envy the poor passengers who had to wait an hour for the next number 8 though.
More crap driving in the isle more goons arriving soon..
You mean like: “just moved here”?
Seems like another driver who doesn’t know what double dotted lines mean, the bus was coming up George street and had right of way, similar thing nearly happened to me the other day when a brain dead young chav in his noise machine tried to cut across in front of me.
As well as the double dotted lines, is there a GIVE WAY sign at the junction visible from Melville Street?
Why police? no one injured another crash they don’t turn up as no one injured..
Apart from the two passengers?
Looks like £50’s worth of damage.
Yawn
Ha ha, its probably TV advert, “Should have gone to Specsavers” perhaps? LOL
Thankfully there is a Specsavers in Ryde.
I wonder how much compensation the injured passengers will sue for, got to be worth at least a whiplash
Two injured on bus no damage to the bus sounds like an insurance scam coming up!
I’m glad you told us it was an Italian motor. Thanks!
Why couldn’t they just exchange details and get on their way inside of ten minutes?
How can you miss seeing a big green bus ?? ,a charge of driving without due care and attention comes to mind
Not charged, reported for careless you mean. Quick interview at scene, take names of witnesses and injured for statements at a later date, exchange details and job done.
