Police and paramedics are in attendance at a road traffic collision on the main road through Newchurch this evening (Sunday).
The incident has occurred on High Street in the village, just past School Lane.
A silver Honda Civic travelling towards Hale Common has collided with a Saab – which was parked on the village road.
Officers from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary are in attendance at the scene alongside blue light colleagues from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service.
The road is currently blocked near the junction with Palmers Lane till the junction with The Shute.
It’s not thought that any serious injuries have been sustained by anyone involved.
UPDATE @ 21:25 – Bartletts have now recovered the vehicle so the road has re-opened once again.
UPDATE ON MONDAY – Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary have confirmed that no injuries were reported
I’ll bet its the same wally ive seen round Ryde. Driving like a total div.
Which one, we have so many, the cretin driving the orange noise machine with the black union jack on the roof is a persistent nuisance
All new cars should be fitted with data boxes similar to the ones fitted in aircrafts, with vidio evidence only accessible to the police and insurance companies….That would help stop some of these idiots….
More idiots. Isle of Wight is statistically the stupidest county in the UK. Thick as pig sh*t.
Is that what makes mainlanders move here, then?
No, that’s the stupid authorities building houses for mainland influx
I think it’s terrible!
Can you buy shares in Bartletts?
They must be worth a fortune with all the work the Island drivers are providing them with
How did this happen in a 20 zone?
Twenty MPH max limit that very few take any notice of, put some speed humps down….
I feel sorry for the Saab owner.
I don’t, mayby they shouldn’t park on the rd
Little Newchurch. The road through the village commands respect. Speed is probably the cause of this accident, as usual. I feel sorry for the Saab owner. Lots of inconvenience!
Saab is always parked on the road blocking road so statistically was always likely to happen. I suspect driver was on their phone and ploughed into the back. Salutary lesson for a div.
Another island driver running out of talent probably but am I the only one who finds the roads quite slippery at the minute? I’ve even had two brand new tyres on the front just in case.
Roads are fine. Drive to the conditions.
By chance I was in Newchurch today, walking on the road. It is, indeed, very slippery. No doubt a combination of the cold, the mud, fuel and a lack of rain to wash it off. Perhaps poor roads as well. Thanks for mansplaining it though. I’ve been driving since 1987, used to live and drive in London and I’ve done advanced driving – but I’m sure you know best, Tiny. Sorry, Tony.
It’s called Winter, if you feel the roads are slippery, slow down and ignore van man tailgating you…
Thanks Captain Obvious, where would we be without you commenting on absolutely everything.
Here’s a thought, why don’t they double yellow all main rds, would be a lot less congestion and less accidents, majority of houses have the space to create off rd parking, they just need there hand forced, and if you don’t then park out the way and walk
