Police, fire and paramedics have been called to a road traffic collision on a rural road on the outskirts of Newport this evening (Saturday).
999 Calls reporting a road traffic collision on Whitcombe Road were first made at around 18:30.
Island Echo understands that a red Suzuki Jimny has sustained significant front end damage. Marks can be seen in the road surface where the vehicle lost control and collided with a tree.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary closed a single lane of the road with officers on scene directing traffic.
Paramedics from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service tended to a casualty at the scene before conveying them onward to St Mary’s Hospital.
The road has since reopened following private recovery of the involved vehicles.
more bad driving on the Iow
It’s amazing what a small stretch of water does.
On the mainland speed cameras exist, so do
speed humps.
The rules on the island are lax.
You are boring it hurts
Island roads are not ideal for national speed limit especially winding narrow roads with blind corners or our country lanes rethink needed. Also some shocking driving since lockfown ..the highway code is still in force use it…..
I won’t beat around the bush, road safety on the island
is S H I T
There are too many lawless uneducated numpties who
think it is ok to speed along island roads.
It is obvious this Council cannot STOP numpties
speeding.
When devolution comes along we need a mayor like
Sadiq Khan.
Not only will he STOP speeding he will introduce an
Island ULEZ charge to get old climate busting vehicles
off our roads.
Time for speed cameras to be installed islandwide
not just place speed camera signs
THE ISLAND NEEDS REAL CAMERA’S
Oh please beat about the bush! And learn punctuation while you’re at it. And as for your support for Khan… wow.
You use the word ‘he’ twice, of course
