We received this following message at 14:17 from VB reader Darran Gange. We’ve not been able to post it before now, but hope it’s still of relevance.
As you might have heard there’s been a big bus crash in Cowes, where one of Southern Vectis’s Bestival buses from the mainland (Wilts and Dorset colours) has crashed into a truck outside Hursts/The co-operative. Looks like a few people may be injured.
Terminus road has been closed to all vehicles (except emergency ones) on last check, this may have changed since.
Update: Two pedestrians were hurt in the collision, one treated for minor injuries and the other taken to St Mary’s Hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries. Both drivers of the bus and lorry were shaken but unharmed.
Many thanks to Darran for also sending through photos.
