A MAN has died after last night being hit by a train on the Island Line tracks near Los Altos Park in Sandown.

Emergency crews — including the air ambulance — arrived at the scene yesterday (Friday) shortly before 6pm.

The man involved was hit nearby the foot crossing leading up to the station, and was later confirmed to have died.

The Isle of Wight Ambulance Service and multiple police officers also attended the scene near the Fairway.

Services have now returned to the normal hourly timetable as part of the revised arrangements currently in place.
