Four hurt after double-decker bus topples over

Four people have been taken to hospital after a double-decker bus veered off a road and rolled on to its side.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said officers were called just before 07:50 GMT to reports of a vehicle leaving the road at Marshcombe Shute, Brading, Isle of Wight.

The bus operator Southern Vectis confirmed there were three passengers as well as the driver on-board at the time and police said they sustained minor injuries. All four have been taken to St Mary's Hospital in Newport.

Officers have closed the road up to the junction with the B3395 and have advised drivers to take alternative routes.

"The circumstances behind this incident are currently unclear, and we are working with police as they begin their investigation.

"Our focus, right now, is on the wellbeing of the driver and passengers on-board," Richard Tyldsley, Southern Vectis general manager, said.
