A suspected drug driver who crashed his van into a parked vehicle in Shanklin earlier today (Wednesday) tried to run away from Police before being captured. Officers from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary were called to the scene on Sandy Lane in Shanklin at around 12:00. At the scene, a silver Renault Trafic van collided with another parked van, flattening a lamppost in the process. The driver of the French-made vehicle then made off from the scene before he was caught – a short distance away – by Police. A roadside drug wipe was conducted which returned a positive result and the male was arrested and taken to Newport Police Station. He remains in custody at this time.

Well done these morons should be banned & heavily fined .
Fortunately others were not injured.
The Island appears to be swamped in drugs.
They are even vaping drugs on this Isle of Drugs.
No Law and Order
There has to be some benefit to living here.

I suspect that you are an amoeba, the one cell you possess being your brain.
Not surprised, the Tories cut all the police. Walk down the road these days not uncommon for a car stinking of weed to drive past.
Wait till labour flood your streets with Mohammad and Ali’s
Many Many more drivers of all Vehicles what ever their make is, are drugged up, this is on the whole exceptabl these days, or expected…
However, life is very short and they have no idea what their doing to their health….The new world order want you to die early, that’s why the food industry are slowly killing us…
Get with drug’s, but food is good and tasty, people just need to eat in moderation and read the labels. McDonald’s is better and healthier than chippy! Like people with allergies it’s a minority that can’t cope with modern diet, and was no record’s 100yrs ago around food diet.
The new world order want you to live longer so they can fleece you. They can’t make much money from dead people.
Well if you’re not drugged up or drunk, what on earth is your excuse for that complete drivel?
They have been using medical procedures.
Look at the damage AstraZeneca has done to people
they have been taken to court.
You can read all about it on The Daily Mail website
Where all the strange old farts then jo
What sort of conspiracy-fueled nonsense is this? If anyone is partaking, I would suggest it may be you…
>he says as his daily caffeine intake gives him a heart attack and the mcdonalds gives him cancer
Only cranks can post
Yes you old fart you can post as you king of cranks
That lab post or parked car could of been anyone of us he collided with , ban the druggie low life for good.
Good catch by mr plod
Low life could have easily killed or maimed an innocent person.
Yet little will happen to the trash EVEN if they do someone life changing damage.
If so let’s hope it is one of those who give weak sentences.
Another pothead staying at Parkdean?
Why mention the “nationality” of the van (“French motor”!)?! This seems to be an Island Echo obsession — not so long ago, there was a reference to a Fiat as an “Italian motor”. It sounds almost as if you’re blaming the European Union for the accidents, rather than the actual UK drivers!!
Crush the van. Any and all drug or drink drivers should have the vehicle their driving automatically crushed as routine.
Bang the B’stard up. I have had enough of drink and drug drivers
roaming around on the island.
Until these selfish stupid B’stards are locked up, our roads
will never be safe.
You like to join are trans woman club
Your a sad lonely old man anit you Trevor
Dave Cave? Oh, I see you’re a cave dwelling Neanderthal!
And when the home owner came out and asked police what had happened, their reply was, ‘for now, you will be kept in the dark’. Ha ha!… The old one’s are the best one’s. (Almost). And to advance road knowledge for dummies like me, it is reported that Renault’s are of a French motor manufacturer… Vorsprung Perrier Technik. 😉
Mmmmmm fancy meating you here
Oh do learn to spell. You are showing up your idiocy.
Make the roads a bit wider, knock down those shitty houses and he wouldn’t have crashed
The lamppost was clearly on drugs. It can’t even stand up.
