The owner of Ainslie’s Interior Decor in Devonshire has called on the Bermuda Government to tackle a frequent accident spot.

Cindy Laws spoke to The Royal Gazette after a car hit the store at the junction of Middle Road and Tee Street and overturned.

“The Bermuda Government should really take a look at this corner,” Ms Laws said.

“It’s an important intersection, it’s a busy intersection and it’s just too many accidents, way too many accidents.

“We need help at this intersection or someone is going to go through the building.

“Does somebody have to lose their life for them to understand and know, and I know that they know, this needs to be addressed?

“We need to do something and the Government needs to definitely take a look and put some funds here to put a stop light, a sensor light or something to help people negotiate or navigate through here.”

Ms Laws added that this was the third time her building had been hit in “a year and few months”.

According to police spokesman Dwayne Caines, a 20-year-old woman was treated for “minor facial injuries” in hospital following the crash at 1.51pm.

Mr Caines said it appeared the woman was heading west when “she lost control of the vehicle and drove into a commercial building”.
