Police were called to a traffic incident in which a cyclist was injured on a busy road.

The traffic incident took place yesterday evening (December 7) on Portsdown Hill Road, during which time heavy congestion was reported in the area.

A Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary spokesperson said: “We were called at 6.01pm last night (7 December) to a report of road traffic incident involving a cyclist on Portsdown Hill Road. A man came off his bike and reported minor injuries. No other vehicles were involved.”

Motorists faced delays of nearly an hour due to a number of factors, including a burst sewer in Portsmouth’s Eastern Road which led to a lane closure.
