All roads leading to Yarbridge remain open, although traffic is slowly passing by the vehicle, causing long tailbacks.

Traffic on Morton Road/Morton Common Road, from Sandown, is particularly affected.

Southern Vectis said its route two and three buses are delayed due to “slow-moving traffic” following the crash.
