Pedestrian 'trapped under lorry' as road shut
The road is closed by the Red Funnel vehicle ferry terminal from the Holiday Inn to Town Quay
A 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, cars and small vans only between Southampton and East Cowes.
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.
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.
