TWO people were taken to St Mary's Hospital following a car crash involving three vehicles this afternoon.

As previously reported as the incident unfolded, the road into Yarmouth from Newport was blocked following the collision in the Bouldnor area.

The accident was attended to by crews from Newport and Freshwater Fire Station, the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service and Isle of Wight Police.

A roof removal of one vehicle was carried out, and two adults, one male and one female, were taken to hospital.

Freshwater Fire Station later tweeted it was a great example of teamwork between the frontline staff.

Traffic was diverted through Thorley and Wellow.
