Two persons have been hospitalised overnight after being involved in a serious road traffic collision on the outskirts of Yarmouth.
The female driver of a silver Honda Civic was taken to St Mary’s Hospital, Newport suffering from whiplash, concussion and severe bruising after a Renault Twingo ploughed into the back of the Civic at around 70mph on Halletts Shute, Norton.
