Police have successfully recovered a silver Ford Focus that was involved in a fail to stop collision in Shanklin last month.
Hampshire Constabulary have thanked members of the public who spotted the wanted car down a track near Sandown Airport. It follows a public appeal for information, as previously reported by Island Echo.
Officers are still appealing for witnesses to the collision itself at Landguard Road, Shanklin at around 18:37 on Friday 28th December.
A second Ford Focus was being driven by a 55-year-old man when it was hit from the side. His 25-year-old daughter was in the front passenger seat. Both were left shocked by the incident and the female passenger had to have hospital treatment for severe whiplash.

“I would like to thank members of the public who helped locate the vehicle. We are still appealing to anyone who might have witnessed this collision.
“In particular, we would like to speak to a blonde woman driving a Peugeot 206, which is described as having sporty writing on the side. She witnessed the collision and stopped to check on the injured people.”
