Car crashes through metal fence outside Gosport sailing centre as driver suffers 'medical episode'

Part of the fence surrounding the Joint Services Adventurous Sail Training Centre, in Haslar Road, Gosport, was destroyed in the crash at 3pm today.

A spokesman for the centre said its fence and an unoccupied portacabin on-site were damaged in the collision.

It is understood a member of staff helped the driver, who police believe may have fallen ill at the wheel.

The centre said: ‘We will assess the damage when the car had been removed.

‘We do not have any details on the driver, who was taken to hospital with what we understand are non-serious injuries.’

A Hampshire police spokesman said the driver suffered a ‘possible medical episode’.

He said: ‘We were called at 3.04pm. A car collided with railings – no details of injuries.’
