A 42-year-old man has died in the wake of a crash in Hamilton Parish shortly after 2am on Wednesday.

The police confirmed the sixteenth road death of 2026 after the visiting British national was seriously injured after his rental scooter crashed on North Shore Road, east of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Police, the Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service and medics responded, but despite life-saving efforts at the scene and as the ambulance took him to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, he was pronounced dead by an on-call doctor.

A police spokesman said a family liaison officer was assisting the visitor’s next of kin.

It comes after a 30-year-old lost his life in a crash on October 17 in Sandys.

The spokesman said the fatal crash was under investigation by the roads policing unit.

Any witnesses or members of the public with information were urged to contact Pc Victor Fishington by calling 717-0836, or e-mailing vfishington@bps.bm, as soon as possible.
