Pedestrian 'trapped under lorry' as road shut
BBCA stretch of a main route through Southampton city centre has been closed and ferries disrupted after a pedestrian was trapped under 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 and cyclists only between Southampton and East Cowes, with delays expected.
A spokesperson for South Central Ambulance Service said: "The incident involved a patient trapped under a lorry.
"We attended with one ambulance crew and the air ambulance service also attended."
The patient was taken to Southampton General Hospital, their condition is not known.
BBC Reporter Patrick Hughes who was 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.
Neil Chapman, operations director at Red Funnel, said: "Customers travelling by vehicle are currently unable to access our Terminal 1 site in Southampton due to a road closure on Town Quay Road.
"As a result, vehicle ferry services from Southampton to East Cowes are unable to carry vehicles at this time."
He added that they are still able to operate a service from East Cowes to Southampton for cars and vans up to 6.5m (21.3ft) with drivers able to exit via a secondary route in Southampton.
