Two women miraculously escaped serious injuries this week when their cars collided at Somerset bridge.

Police spokesman Sgt. Chris Wilcox said one of the women had been released from King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. The other was listed in stable condition on a general ward.

The accident occurred around 12.50 p.m. on Tuesday as one of the women was driving out of Robinson's Marina and about to turn right.

Her car collided with the other woman who was driving toward Somerset.

The accident, which occurred at the north end of the bridge, caused a traffic jam in the area, Sgt. Wilcox said.

The extent of the drivers' injuries were not known, but both were taken to hospital by ambulance.
