Bike and trailer collide

A 46-year-old St. George's man was injured when the motorbike which he was riding and a trailer being towed by a van collided.

The accident happened a round 3.20 p.m. on Monday at the junction of Dolly's Bay Road and St. David's Road in St. George's.

It appears that the motorcycle was travelling east on St. David's Road and the van towing the trailer was leaving Dolly's Bay Road when the accident happened.

The rider of the motorcycle injured his ankles and complained of pain in his neck. He was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment. The driver of the van, a 50-year-old Warwick man, was not injured.
