A motorcyclist who suffered broken bones after coming off his bike on the main road into Bembridge last night (Tuesday) remains in hospital.
The incident, in which the motorcyclist collided with a tree, occurred on Sandown Road near to Bembridge Airport at around 19:30.
Emergency services were called to the scene with Police and paramedics from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service both responding, alongside 1 fire appliance from Sandown.
The road was closed in both directions whilst paramedics tended to the injured rider and the motorcycle was recovered.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary has confirmed to Island Echo that the motorcyclist sustained serious injuries and was taken to St Mary’s Hospital in Newport, where he remains at this time.
Not a nice night to be on two wheels. Hope you make a full recovery.
Pray the Biker will be okay xx
a Huge thanks for our emergency services that save lives everyday
Love this bit of road can usually get a ton plus out of my old Renault here especially on the down hill bit.
And your point is ???
They are always speeding by there, you can hear exhausts popping & speeding so it is inevitable at some point if people want to behave like that, speed kills, but they choose to learn the hard way !
Please provide a link to the proof that this motorcyclist was “behaving like that”
Spoken like the true ignoramus you clearly are.
Of course it was the trees fault.
Do you know this was the case?
Uninsured, unlicenced, speeding…
Hope the rider hasn’t suffered life changing injuries. Get well soon.
Hopefully the rider will make a full recovery soon. Good luck!
