Islanders are being asked to avoid going to A&E this afternoon as passengers involved in a coach crash on Mont Les Vaux are being treated.
A number of people have been taken to hospital with minor injuries after the 59 year old driver of a Waverley coach fell ill at the wheel.
It happened at around 10:30am near Woodbine Stores, with 999 being called at 10:37am.
Passengers have been transferred to another coach and a number of them were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The 59-year-old driver is being treated by paramedics and the road remains closed.
Police say he was breathing, conscious and talking.
