Couple hospitalised after Uber crash on way to Bournemouth Airport

Parley Lane three-vehicle smash before 6am; passengers say holiday ruined — Uber investigating.

Two passengers were taken to Poole Hospital after their Uber crashed near Bournemouth Airport on an early holiday run.

The Echo reports the collision just before 5.57am on 14 September on Parley Lane near Parley Green Lane involved three vehicles; the couple claimed the driver had been driving dangerously then hit a stationary car while distracted. Four ambulances attended; they missed a non-refundable flight shortly after 8am. Dorset Police confirmed a blocked B3073; the road cleared about 9am. Uber said safety is a priority and a specialist team is investigating. Readers linked the crash to long-running Parley Lane speed concerns after the 2023 death of Billy Lardner.
