A teenager was arrested after three people were hurt in a three-vehicle crash yesterday.

Police said a 19-year-old man was taken into custody after he was discharged, having had treatment at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.

Two motorcycles and a car were involved in the crash on Stowe Hill in Paget at about 12.55pm. A man riding the other bike and his female pillion passenger were taken to hospital for “medical assessment” of injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.

Traffic diversions were in place while police carried out their investigation, but at 3.30pm the road was clear.

Police have appealed for witnesses.
