A postie that rolled their Royal Mail onto its side on a single-track country lane in Adgestone this morning (Tuesday) has escaped injury.
Police were called to Upper Road, near the junction with Well Lane, at 11:26 to reports of a van on its side.
Officers from the Isle of Wight’s Roads Policing Unit arrived on scene to find a Royal Mail van completely blocking the carriageway as a result of colliding with the verge on the nearside.
Recovery of the crashed Fiat has been arranged.
The road is currently blocked in both directions with motorists urged to use Lower Road as an alternative route.
Locals may have a wait for their post today…
