A woman is being extricated from her vehicle following a road traffic collision in Sandown this evening (Saturday).
Police, fire and ambulance crews are currently on scene at the junction of Grove Road, Station Road and Station Street.
3 fire crews from Ryde, Sandown and Shanklin are in attendance with firefighters working to free the occupant of the black Ford Fusion.
The car has mounted a pavement and has come to a rest beside a stone wall.
No other vehicles have been involved in the incident and Police are yet to get a full account of the events leading up to the crash.
Next of kin are aware.
UPDATE @ 18:25 – The casualty has been removed from the car and passed into the care of the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service.
The road has been closed by Police but is not expected to be closed for a prolonged period.
UPDATE @ 18:40 – The undamaged Ford Fusion has been started and driven away from the scene to a nearby property.
Thankfully, the driver is not thought to have sustained any serious injuries as a result of the minor collision.
Wrong story maybe? A bit blunt.
Are Island Roads becoming unsafe!, everyday there are accidents!
Wait, with a huge building explosion about to begin, YOU ‘aint seen nothin…….YET
Best impression of a Pratt to date Ron. For gods sake “GROW UP” man.
Why do you make a big deal about people being trapped in a car?? Unless it is on fire it does not matter. More likely to be seriously injured or killed if you are thrown out. In this case car was driven away. Trapped???
Sorry am I actually reading this correctly ? 3 Fire crews, Police and Ambulance in attendance. No other vehicles involved and no damage to THE vehicle ? You have to be kidding me …… are the emergency services bored on the Island or something ?? What a waste of tax payers money ……… disgusting.
