Police have closed Sandown's Morton Common this evening (Saturday) after a car reportedly drove into a ditch.

As of 9.25pm this evening, the road remained closed at both ends, with traffic begin diverted by officers at the scene.

In a possibly related turn of events, an eye-witness says they saw someone they describe as 'under the influence' driving a BMW erratically and at speed close to where the incident occurred. 

Southern Vectis says its Route 3 buses will divert from Victoria Road along Culver Parade to Yaverland, then to Marshcombe Shute to reach Brading.

The diversion will operate in both direction until further notice.

We have approached the emergency services for more details on the nature of the incident.
