A motorcyclist is receiving medical treatment following collision involving a car on the High Street in Carisbrooke this evening (Wednesday), which has led to a rush hour road closure.
There are significant delays in the area as emergency services tend to injured rider, who is thought to have been rear ended by a car near the Co-op convenience store.
The injured rider is currently on the floor receiving treatment from the Isle of Wight ambulance service.
Southern Vectis is advising of diversions to Route 7, 12 and 38 services.
UPDATE @ 18:30 – The scene has now been cleared and the road has reopened.
The rider has been taken to St Mary’s Hospital for treatment for minor injuries.
And another accident involving a motorbike. Seems to be a big trend lately.
Its not surprising with learner drivers delivering junk food from takeaways. They have no idea of danger they cause including NOT giving way at junctions & pedestrian crossings
It is not only delivery drivers, many young
numpties are riding around erratically.
Doesn’t surprise me at all, have you seen the way they are ridden.
Military Road is a fine example, they ride at the speed of light!
Majority of motorbikes you see on the island are driving around with
L plates on!
It’s about time these Motorcyclists took a test,
they will never learn, they don’t have 9 lives.
I drive down Military nearly every day and have never witnessed that. You’re making things up
You are acting as if you know exactly what had happened when this collision happened.
The rider in this scenario was rear-ended whilst waiting to pull into a carpark.
(Also for a motorbike you need to complete a CBT – Compulsory Basic Training to ride a 125cc or 50cc)
And as stated by your name “enough is enough” stop criticising when you dont know the full story.
A collision can happen between both motorbikes and cars. But you dont see us saying its a big trend of cars deciding to crash.
