Paramedics from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service have been called to a collision between a taxi and a parked car in Ventnor this morning (Thursday).
The incident, involving a Vauxhall Zafira and a VW Polo, has occurred on Hamborough Road.
Emergency services were alerted to the crash shortly before 10:30.
Island Echo is told that the driver blacked out at the wheel.
UPDATE – The driver of the taxi has been conveyed to St Mary’S Hospital.
“Taxi mounts Polo”. Can we expect the sound of little wheels in 9 months’ time?
Vauxhall against VW – will they be VVW’s?
Car crash? Not as dangerous as escooters, apparently.
I thought taxi drivers had to have medicals every year like bus drivers??? If not maybe they should.
Well you can have a vehicle MOT’d annually but it doesn’t mean to say it will pass the next day!
Some of these taxi drivers think they have right of way lately lots of aggression
Probably just an excuse too get out of an accident not paying attention! Easy reason.go too hospital….nowt wrong …but doing thats great for police znd insurance claim!
Idiot.
You do talk crap the guy was was unconscious that’s why he was taken to hospital to make sure he was OK
I’ve never understood why Island Echo delete some comments that are in no way offensive,…have they become so Woke that comments on any stories are like walking on egg shells….
Come on Island Echo, spill the beans, and let us know…..
