A man was arrested and one person hurt following a single-vehicle crash on the Isle of Wight yesterday evening (Thursday, August 22).

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary were alerted to reports of a collision on Sandown Road, near Skew Bridge between Shanklin and Lake, just before 7.30pm.

On-call firefighters from Shanklin were also sent to the scene.

Emergency teams confirmed that only one vehicle, an Audi TT, was involved in the incident, and all occupants were safely out of the vehicle as the fire crew arrived.

A police spokesperson said one person reported minor injuries.

Shanklin firefighters made the scene safe before returning to the station at around 9pm.

Officers arrested a 19-year-old man from Ryde on suspicion of drug driving.

The man has been released under investigation, and police enquiries continue.
