Emergency services are in attendance at an apparent single vehicle collision on the outskirts of Newport this evening (Tuesday).
A car has left the carriageway and careered into a hedge on Blackwater Road, near Moles Country Stores.
Police are on scene alongside an ambulance crew from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service.
The incident occurred shortly before 18:00.
The road remains open with minor delays.
UPDATE – The incident has now been cleared.
It’s thought the driver suffered a medical episode at the wheel.
The incident actually happened shortly after 5.30 as I actually called in to the police to report… hopefully the occupant(s) are all okay
Well done
I Love the Unsung Heroes
Similar place a couple of weeks ago.. wonder if same hedge !! Or maybe same driver !!
More bad driving on the IW
Read the report, possibly a medical problem. It happens!
More bad commenting on the IE.
More Boring each time.
Should not be driving if you’re unfit to do so. Very rare that a healthy person has an issue. It’s part of the highway code to ensure you’re fit to drive.
So you will know if you are about to have an unexpected non previously known about medical condition? How very clever you are.
Exactly! Good on you for saying this
