Emergency services have been called to a crash involving at least 2 vehicles on Staplers Road between Newport and Wootton this evening (Wednesday).
The crash has occurred near to Butterfly World, where Staplers Road becomes Whiterails Road.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service and Police are all on scene having been alerted to the crash shortly before 18:25.
A Ford Fiesta and a Land Rover Freelander have been involved.
The road is closed in both directions.
UPDATE – 2 people have been taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The road has now re-opened.
Another normal day….
Did they not read the Sun front page? ‘Dont use your car, dont go running, dont play sport, dont get drunk, dont have fun.’
Morons who cannot follow simple instructions and end up needlessly utilizing emergency services at a time of national crisis. Should have the book thrown at them.
Only you know the point of your comment, however you read it, it defies common sense.
If you feel better for posting it, I guess you got satisfaction.
That road is too fast for its own good !!! It’s also lumpy and bumpy. But what caused this latest crash is, at the moment, anyone’s guess.
There’s nout wrong with the road…as long as you drive appropriately to the conditions (both weather and trafic)
Someone pulled out on the freelander
All these retirees with poor man’s Chelsea tractors, probably driving in the middle of the road as per usual.
Really, didn’t know you could drive a tractor in Chelsea
There back out at it again… wonder which vehicle won, the Land Rover or the Fiesta… either way one of them was not looking, seeing and thinking… undue care and attention…
That’ll be “WITHOUT due care and attention” … but hang on – you weren’t there, were you?
You all need to get a life instead of making judgment on other peoples.
