Several injured in collisions, one arrest

Several people were injured in a series of collisions over Thursday night and Friday morning, while one was arrested.

According to a Police spokesman, at around 9.05pm on Thursday emergency services responded to a report of a single vehicle collision on Harrington Sound Road in Smith’s, near the junction with Somersall Road.

“It appears that a female motorcyclist collided with the kerb,” a spokesman said. “The 25-year-old St. George’s woman apparently received relatively minor injuries and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of impaired driving.”

Hours later, at around 12.40am on Friday, officers were dispatched to the scene of what was described as a serious collision on North Shore Road in Hamilton Parish, near the junction with Coney Island Road.

“It appears that two motorcycles were being ridden along North Shore Road and a car was being driven along the same road when the vehicles collided,” the spokesman said. “The male rider and male pillion passenger of one of the motorcycles involved, a 17-year-old and 41-year-old, both from Hamilton Parish, were injured. The other motorcyclist involved, a 31-year-old Devonshire woman, was also injured, but the car driver was not injured.”

He added that those injured in the crash were taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment. As of yesterday afternoon, the 17-year-old was recovering in stable condition on the children’s ward, while the other two had been treated and discharged.

The spokesman also noted a collision which occurred around 8pm on Thursday on Middle Road in Southampton, near the junction with Evans Bay Road, in which a car struck a wall and overturned.

He said the driver of the car, a 55-year-old Sandys woman, received relatively minor injuries, as did her passenger believed to be her son. e.
