A dog is missing on the Isle of Wight following a car crash last night (Tuesday October 22).

A plea has been put out on Facebook after the dog, named Karma, ran away from the serious collision in Ryde last night.

The dog's owner is said to be in hospital.

In a Facebook post on Community (and Emergency) Information Isle of Wight, Molly Keen said: "We are still searching for Karma.

"We now understand there was a lady at the crash site when the driver left.

 "Please, if this was you, or you know this lady, could she contact either myself, the police, Drone SAR For Lost Dogs IOW, or the Tracker Dogs team if you saw where Karma headed, or have any information.

"Everyone is out giving their time to try and bring Karma home, any information would help."

Emergency services were called at 10.23pm last night after reports of a two-vehicle collision at the junction of High Park Road and Arundel Road in Ryde.

One of the vehicles was found overturned.

The passenger of the Seat, a woman aged in her 30s, suffered a head injury but is not serious, a Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary spokesperson said.

Police said the driver of the Seat left her at the scene and left on foot.
