Police update after Isle of Wight high street crash leads to arrest

As previously reported, police were called at 10.33pm to a report of a crash, involving a car and a pedestrian on Sandown High Street.

The road was closed for a time but later reopened.

The driver did not stop at the scene but was stopped on the adjacent Albert Road a short while later, a police spokesperson said.

A 32-year-old woman from Sandown was subsequently arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving, the force said.

The pedestrian involved, a man in his 50s, was taken to hospital to receive treatment.

His injuries, police said, were originally believed to be serious but are now understood to be minor.

In an update, police confirmed the woman has been bailed until December 19.
