Disruption As Ventnor Road Closed To Assist Unwell Woman

Motorists hoping to use Spring Hill yesterday morning (May 1) had to find an alternative route after emergency services closed it to local traffic to assist an unwell woman trapped on the upper floor of a house.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service had to use their "cherry picker" in order to help paramedics access the woman via an upper floor window.

Police were called in to close the road at around 8.30am to allow emergency services to reach the woman safely.

Route 3 buses were also diverted while the operation was carried out.
