Middle Road at Afton has been closed by Police as a result of a 2-vehicle collision between a car and a van.
The crash, which took place shortly before 20:00, has occurred between The Causeway and Willingham Lane, blocking Middle Road between Afton and Chessell.
It’s understood the driver and other occupants of the car fled the scene prior to the emergency services’ arrival.
No one has been injured in the incident but both vehicles have sustained significant damage.
Enquiries are underway to identify and locate the driver of the car.
UPDATE TUESDAY – Hampshire Constabulary has confirmed that the incident involved a Ford Fusion and a Peugeot Bipper van, with 1 minor injury sustained.
The occupants of the Ford are being sought after fleeing the scene.
Middle Road has since re-opened.
Why aren’t we told what car crashed we may of seen it prior to the incident etc
Not a surprising event in Freshwater, which over the past couple of years has become pretty lawless in the absence of any Policing.
Drugs running goes on every evening, perhaps the individuals who fled were involved or at least under the influence..
