A van has ploughed into the corner of a garden wall in Ryde this evening (Saturday).
The incident – which has been described as an accident – has occurred on St John’s Hill, near the junction with St John’s Wood Road.
Police are in attendance and are arranging recovery of the Peugeot van.
The male driver has escaped injury.
No arrests have been made with no offences identified.
The road remains open as normal.
Anyone know who built that wall, need an extension built at mine?
Yer it was Bob mate 🙂
Yep, we have so much of this now, we take it so casually….hope you get your extension done at a good price and with a smile
Really difficult to keep the car under control along that straight 30mph road ,unless you are drunk or on the phone.
Probably dropped his joint he was smoking lol
No offences? How about driving without due care and attention? If he had hit someone, would it still be no offences or would the pedestrian be at fault for being in the wrong place at the time of an “accident”?
Perhaps they lost control on the, three times repaired, still leaking water main, on the crossing!
Hasn’t got that far down the road
That is funny.
Are there any Companies on the Island who carry out good repairs?
Walls….. like hedges only harder
More bad driving on the I o w
May have had a track rod end fail, can make a car swerve like that. Be nice to know. I assume as no charges means it is all insured and road legal. Hopefully home owner will get a new wall. Sadly I do agree with others, could have been on phone. :/
