The main road to Niton is blocked this lunchtime (Thursday) following a single vehicle road traffic collision in which a car has collided with a tree.
Police and paramedics are on scene on Newport Road following a collision which occurred shortly after 12:00.
At the scene an MG attempting to overtake a cyclist has collided with a tree leaving the vehicle, believed to be a courtesy vehicle, side-on across the carriageway.
The collision has occured half-way between Southford Lane and Kingates Lane in the rural hamlet of Bierley.
As a result, Newport Road is currently partially blocked with motorists advised to avoid the area for the time being. Traffic is able to pass the crash scene albeit under Police direction.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary have been approached for comment.
UPDATE @ 13:30 – Police have confirmed that no injuries have been reported.
Not surprised at this. Lunatic drivers travel from Niton, bomb along this road, but ignore the possibility that traffic will be trying to exit from Kingates and or Southford lanes.
that’s got literally nothing to do with the fact that this driver, operating a courtesy vehicle so probably already crashed once, tried overtaking a cyclist on a blind bend, and hit a tree of all things! This persons license should be revoked because clearly they can’t drive safely
Don’t be a Numpty, another impatient driver who
cannot wait a few minutes.
Courtesy cars are also provided when cars go in for work or servicing not just crash repairs! A bit of an assumption there
The island is full of lunatic drivers, it’s about time the
2 island MPs addressed the speeding issue on the island
OR MAYBE THEY NEED TO GO TO SPECSAVERS!
SPEEDING IS RIFE – WHERE IS THE TRAFFIC POLICE!
Enough is Enough
So many stupid B’stards cannot wait.
I know many cyclists are a pain in the a@se
but only overtake when safd to do so.
Motoring rules/)law on the island is POOR
YET AGAIN NUMPTY CIVIL ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
IN SANDOWN BOOKING VEHICLES ALONG THE HIGH STREET
BUT THE NUMPTY TURNED A BLIND EYE TO A BLUE VEHICLE
PARKED AT THE TOP OF PIER STREET ON DOUBLE YELLOW LINES OUTSIDE THE NEW TURKISH BARBERS
NOT TO ME TION THE USUAL PARKING EVADERS PARKING ON THE
PAVEMENT OUTSIDE THE OLD TOURIST INFORMATION CENTRE OPPOSITE THE PIER.
IW COUNCIL KEEP GETTING THE VIOLIN OUT YET THE USELESS
NUMPTIES ALLOW VEHICLES TO EVADE PAYING PARKING CHARGES AND CIVIL ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TURN A BLIND EYE TO CERTAIN VEHICLES.
IF THE IDOT COUNCIL EVER SLAP A TICKET ON MY MOTOR
I WILL CONTACT MY LOCAL MP AND I WILL REFUSE TO PAY!
THERE CANNOT BE 1 RULE FOR ONE AND ONE RULE FOR ANOTHER
I AM THINKING OF PARKING FULLY ON THE PAVEMENT ALONG THE ESPLANADE BECAUSE NO B’STARD WOULD PUT A TICKET ON A VEHICLE – THE NUMPTIES ALLOW PAVEMENT PARKING
I AM THINKING OF EXPOSING THE LAWLESS PARKING ON NATIONAL NEWS.
THE ISLAND IS A JOKE
You go for it Enough. I’m sure we will all be behind you as you make your protest. The national press are sure to cover such an important issue.
I’m sure a comment about numptie is forthcoming.
