Police are investigating a road traffic collision on the Isle of Wight where a motorist has received life-threatening injuries.

At approximately 1.30am this morning (Saturday, August 4), a Ford Ka driven by a woman aged in her 20s went off the road at Lake Hill near Sandown on the island.
 
The car collided with a perimeter wall and came to a stop in the garden of a home address. There was no impact with the home address.
 
The female driver received life-threatening injuries. She was taken to hospital for emergency treatment.
 
Three passengers were also travelling in the car at the time of the collision. They received injuries that are not thought to be life-threatening.
 
No other vehicles were involved in the collision.
 
Police have re-opened Lake Hill and removed diversions put in place so investigations could be carried out.
 
Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision and anybody who saw a Ford Ka being driven in the Lake Hill area shortly before 1.30am this morning.
 
Witnesses or anyone with information about the collision are asked to contact Sergeant Mark Weller of the Roads Policing Unit by phoning 101.
 
Information can be given anonymously by phoning the independent Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
