Road shut and ferry delays as lorry hits pedestrian

A stretch of a main route through Southampton city centre has been closed and ferries disrupted after a pedestrian was struck by a lorry.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said officers were called to Town Quay shortly after 10:45 BST.

The road is closed from the Holiday Inn to Town Quay.

Red Funnel's vehicle ferry is running a limited service for foot passengers, cars and small vans only between Southampton and East Cowes.

BBC Reporter Patrick Hughes who is at the scene said there is a "40m cordon in place" with a white lorry circled by police tape and "four police cars with another vehicle and a police motorbike".

"The road is closed and people have stopped going about their business to look at the scene," he added.
