Toppled Fork-Lift Blocking Road At Whiteley Bank

A bizarre one this. There’s a forklift in its side in the middle of the road near Whiteley bank.

Fork liftQuite why it’s there, or how it got there is currently unknown.

We’ve just got off the phone with VB reader Alex Welsford (Thanks for that Alex (vid)!) who was on a number three bus that had to stop because it couldn’t get past.

Number 3 blocked
Alex tells us that there’s a number 3 bus stuck on either side of where the forklift is, blocking their way.

The Police have just coned-off the road by the Donkey sanctuary.

Updated: Southern Vectis have confirmed this on their Twitter feed, saying that the number 3 route will have to be diverted, so will not be able to service Wroxall and Upper Ventnor.
