A 48-year-old man has been accused of hitting a Bermuda Regiment soldier with his car.

James Guishard, of St George’s, appeared in Magistrates’ Court today.

He is charged with causing grievous bodily harm while driving without due care and attention.

Mr Guishard did not have to submit a plea because the charges are indictable and must be heard in the Supreme Court.

Private Che’ Edmead was struck by a car on Harrington Sound Road, Hamilton Parish, on October 20 while on Regiment duties.

Mr Guishard was granted $5,000 bail and ordered to reappear in court on December 31 for mention.
