A 20-year-old male passenger injured in a car crash in Southampton on Sunday morning remained in a stable condition in the hospital’s intensive care unit today.

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old driver was having a hip injury medically assessed and was expected to be admitted to a general ward, according to a police spokesman.

Both men were injured and taken to hospital via ambulance after a car hit a wall on Middle Road near the junction with Granaway Heights Road at around 2am. The pair were reported to be trapped inside the badly damaged vehicle and had to be cut out by fire officers.

“At last check, a 20-year-old man believed to be from Pembroke and said to be a passenger in the car that crashed around 2am Sunday on Middle Road in Southampton near the junction with Granaway Heights Road was in the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital in stable condition,” the police spokesman stated yesterday.

“The other injured person, a 26-year-old man believed to be from Southampton and said to be the driver of the car, was having a hip injury medically assessed at the hospital and was expected to be admitted to a general ward. The third man involved, a 31-year-old also believed to be from Southampton and said to be another passenger in the vehicle, did not attend the hospital.

“The extent of any injuries he may have sustained remains unclear.”

Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service acting division officer Mark Taylor said they responded to a report of two people trapped in a car at 2.06am.

While one was extricated quite quickly, he said the second man had to be cut out using the emergency extradition equipment as he was pinned in the vehicle. Both were conscious as they left the scene. Inquiries continue and any witnesses or persons with relevant information should contact the main police telephone number 295-0011.
