A collision involving an electric car resulted in a call-out to Waitrose in East Cowes for emergency crews this afternoon (Monday).
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary and the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service were called to the scene on Castle Street at around 15:00 following reports of a single vehicle collision involving a Nissan Leaf.
It appears as though the Leaf has missed the turning to leave Waitrose car park and has instead continued forward into the wall.
Such was the force of the impact, airbags have been deployed and significant damage caused to the front of the vehicle.
Waitrose staff have been praised for their quick-thinking actions prior to the arrival of emergency crews. Those involved were then passed into the care of paramedics.
Bartletts have since recovered the vehicle and full access to Waitrose car park has been restored.
We are surrounded by ret*rds that can’t drive.
Show me Numpty who can drive along island Roads
without careering over centre white lines
Lol
The majority of island motorists either have the following
Bad eyesight
They are pissed or drugged up
OR CANNOT DRIVE!!
When they say island rosds are different from mainland
roads, the roads ain’t different, IT’S THE NUMPTIES DRIVING
ON THEM WHO ARE DIFFERENT!
Inbreeding and East Cowes, say no more
Good point seems to be an island trend.
Inbreeding and East Cowes, say no more..
Why don’t you wait for the facts instead of jumping to conclusions, the driver may have had a sudden medical emergency.
Possible but more likely an idiot or just too old
Get real. Why do people always call for the health card when basically they should not be on the road
Pissed
Airbags deploy from 16mph and above. This car was definitely moving fast in a small area for this to happen.
There is a speed limit of I believe of 10mph in this car park
have you the speeds some numpties drive at in this small
store car park. SHOCKING!
Many numpties don’t bother stopping at zebra crossings
inside the store car park.
Enough is Enough
