THREE cars collided along The Racecourse this evening, bringing traffic to a standstill on the busy Fairlee Road route into and out of Newport.


The Isle of Wight Ambulance Service was called to the scene just before 6pm and conveyed one person to St Mary's Hospital as a precaution.

Traffic was diverted around Staplers Road, while the emergency services dealt with the incident.

The route out of Newport is now open, but the inbound side remains closed.
