Police ask for dash-cam footage after fatal Isle of Wight collision

We are appealing for witnesses and information following a fatal road traffic collision on the Isle of Wight.

At about 5.10pm on Tuesday 7th February we were called to Mountbatten Drive, Carisbrooke, where a purple Peugeot 107 had been involved in a series of collisions with approximately 11 parked cars.

Members of the public came to the aid of the driver of the Peugeot, a 79-year-old woman from Newport, who was the only person involved in the incident.

Died in hospital
She was taken to hospital, where she sadly died the following morning (Wednesday 8th February).

Her next of kin have been informed.

Following an initial police investigation, we would now like to call on anyone with information who has not already spoken to us to come forward.

Dashcam or CCTV footage
We would particularly like to speak to anyone with relevant dash-cam or CCTV footage of the incident.

Anyone with information should call 101 or report online using reference number 44230052396.
