Isle of Wight Radio Midnight - 7:00am Live and Local Podcast - Supporting Live Local Music On The Isle Of Wight Council Doesn't Recommend Traffic Lights At Deadly Forest Road Junction By Oliver Dyer In April 2019, a three-vehicle crash on Forest Road, Newport took the life of Yvonne Copland, 64. A car failed to give way on Whitehouse Road, hitting a bus which tried to avoid the impact by swerving onto the other side of the road, causing a head-on collision with another car. In the aftermath of the crash, a petition was launched which gained nearly 7,000 signatures calling for the Isle of Wight Council to install traffic lights on the crossroads, in a bid to improve safety and prevent further collisions.
