2 women have been freed from a vehicle that has overturned on a narrow residential road in Ryde tonight (Wednesday).
Fire crews from Ryde and Newport are on scene at Millward Road, where firefighters have been working alongside paramedics from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service to free the trapped females from the overturned motor.
The incident has occurred on a quiet road with parked cars on both sides of the carriageway.
Island Echo understands the Peugeot 207 SW crashed into a parked 4×4, shunting that car backwards and flipping the 207 onto its side.
Police are on scene alongside 2 fire appliances, a rescue tender, an ambulance and an operational commander.
UPDATE @ 21:55 – Emergency services are now standing down from the incident.
Police say no impaired driving has been identified at this stage and that recovery has been arranged.
UPDATE THURSDAY – The 2 women have been discharged from hospital and are recovering at home with cuts and bruises.
Millward Road is now open to traffic as normal.
Typical,it just happened to be another WOMAN driver…..
It’s been proven they are the better driver!
Islanders Should be made to take Driving test every week.
Who said the driver was an islander.
30mph road. How the the hell can you turn a car over on a road like that. No doubt the driver will have a good excuse for driving like a twat
What excuses could there be ? No trees jumping out, no hedges no, telegraph poles landing in front of them. Oh hang on though, a 4 x 4 looks like it got in on the act. I hope their ok ,BUT why all of these latest car crashes ? Did we ever get our promised traffic police?
You can roll at car over at 5mph if you’re not paying attention.
Well something must have been impaired
They probably hit an ant that ran out across the road and flipped the car over – leaving the ant with a very sore head.
More idiots will be along soon…
You are the king of the idiots
Yep, your the kind of idiot drivers I’m talking about….please please stop driving, now!
How is it possible to roll a car on a residential 30mph street with cars parked each side? Couldn’t do it if you tried
Ask the driver, she knows.
You couldn’t even do 30mph there it’s too dangerous
Say that to the twats on the loud motorbikes, they scream up and down that road easily 40 or 50 mph, their motto, bike is so loud no one would step out as they can hear it coming, blocks away…
Don’t you believe it, I live on a cul de sac not far from there. Moved there believing it to be quiet ,far from it . Constant traffic and the speed some cars go up you have to see it to believe it, so it doesn’t suprise me whatsoever.
have you checked her phone records!
Sadly not many people know the width or length of the vehicle they are driving, whilst in driving seat. Road position is always just a guess. Thought learning this was part of the driving test ? I live beside a car park, imagine the laughs I have at watching people like this try to park their vehicle.. !! Then if they try reversing… ha ha ha ha ha !!
More bad driving on the IW
Must be the same idiot that ran into scab cart or perhaps they also can’t use sun visors they are only safer because they don’t do the mileage ha ha oh they found you a bed in the hospital then
