An elderly woman was left injured after she was struck by a motorcycle in a suspected hit-and-run.

A police spokesman said that at about 1pm yesterday, officers responded to a suspected hit-and-run involving a 78-year-old pedestrian at the junction of North Shore Road and Callen Glen Rise in Hamilton Parish.

“It appears that the Hamilton Parish resident was crossing North Shore Road from the waterside, heading towards Callen Glen Rise, when she was apparently struck by a motorcyclist travelling east,” the spokesman said.

“It is understood that the rider continued east along North Shore Road.

“On police arrival, the 78-year-old woman was found lying in the grass near the westbound lane, being assisted by members of the public.

“She was then transported to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment of non-life threatening injuries and later discharged.”

The spokesman said that the Bermuda Police Service was investigating the collision, but no one had provided a description of the motorcycle believed to be involved or the vehicle’s rider.

Witnesses and individuals with relevant information, in particular anyone who may have seen a motorcyclist travelling east at speed along North Shore Road, Hamilton Parish, between Francis Patton Primary School and Blue Hole Hill at about 1pm on January 29, are asked to contact Pc Tyler Nelmes on 211, e-mail tnelmes@bps.bm or speak with a police officer they know.
