The occupants of a VW Polo have escaped injury after colliding with a belisha beacon in Ryde this afternoon (Friday).
Police were alerted to the incident, which occurred on Dover Street, at just before 13:00 – as first reported by Island Echo over on Facebook.
The driver of the Polo somehow managed to mount the kerb, miss 2 bollards and collide with the zebra crossing just outside Dover Park Primary School.
No arrests have been made and no injuries have been reported.
well well well seen it all now
At least no poor trees got damaged this time. Wondered what caused this? Idiot driver, or maybe someone had some sort of medical episode at the wheel?
Thankfully no children around.
Regardless of how this occurred, at least we can only be thankful that the car, bollards and post were the only damage that occurred throughout this.
You got to question how the hell did this happen ,if those bollards keep jumping out on cars they really should be reprimanded
Good thing its half term….cars don’t crash themselves, idiots do..
True, but we have to question the fact that HAD the car not struck the pole, it would have continued across the crossing – pedestrians and all ?
Another brilliant driver on our roads…
How? Why are people so careless? As another commentator has already said, cars don’t crash themselves. Only idiots who aren’t concentrating on the road crash cars! Probably too busy on the phone, but of course, that’s difficult to prove!
With all the road closures, maybe this person has decided to exclusively use the pavements.
That must have taken a lot of planning!
would that by any chance be an elderly driver of an automatic car !
Who are the two woman in the photo?…they don’t luck elderly to me…
Madam You`ve Passed !!!!
Has the driver actually passed their driving test or should the car have ‘L’ plates on it?!!
This defies any logical explanation…I wonder what the excuse was that avoided arrest/ticket?
Apparently it was caused by a spider dropping down from behind the sun visor scaring the lady driver
Well that takes the biscuit !!!!!
We have tree’s wall’s railings etc and now bollards jumping out ….
All I can say is beware of low flying clouds ⛅ …..
The female of the species is more deadly than the male!!.
And in this case, more stupid it seems.
Dover Street is the widest 2-way road on the island. How did this crash happen?
It’s time to give up your driving licence and use public transport.
No arrests made, yes I get that. But were they charged with drive without due care attention? Should have been. As other said this road is so wide you could fit four double deckers side by side down it.
