Gosport Road Slammed Shut After Shocking Head-On Crash
Two People Carriers Collide on Newgate Lane
A busy Gosport route was blocked this afternoon after a brutal head-on smash between two people carriers. The crash happened on Newgate Lane, near the Tanners Lane junction at the Fareham/Gosport border.
One Driver Hospitalised, Road Closed
Emergency crews rushed to the scene after reports one car was facing the wrong way while the other ended up in a hedgerow. Paramedics treated one driver at the spot before taking them to hospital.
Police shut the road briefly to clear the wreckage and deal with a hazardous oil spill caused by the crash.
Quick-Thinking Police Stop Oil Spill Disaster
Hampshire Roads Policing officers acted fast, using soil and even a nearby wheelie bin to stop the oil from seeping into the drainage system. Their quick response prevented further environmental damage.
Rush Hour Chaos and Possible Medical Cause
The smash caused long tailbacks, with traffic queuing back to Market Quay Roundabout in Fareham. Drivers scrambled for alternative routes amid heavy delays.
Police suspect one driver suffered a medical episode before crashing into oncoming traffic. Use of a mobile phone has been ruled out amid ongoing crackdowns in the area.
