A sink hole that has appeared in the middle of a busy Shanklin road has led to its emergency closure.
It was late last night (Tuesday) that the carriageway at North Road gave way, revealing a hole in the middle of the road.
Local residents were quick to divert motorists away from the void, using cones to mark the danger.
Island Roads has since implemented an emergency road closure between the junctions of St Pauls Avenue and Clarendon Road.
All traffic is being diverted locally.
