International Airport yesterday.

American Airlines flight 661, bound for Puerto Rico from Newark, made an unscheduled stopover after reporting a problem with an oil-pressure light.

American Airlines flight 1785, also bound for Puerto Rico from Baltimore, was diverted to Bermuda due to a medical emergency. A 64-year-old female passenger was taken to King Edward Memorial Hospital reportedly suffering from insulin shock.

Police otherwise reported a quiet weekend. Following Somerset's thrilling upset of St. George's on Friday night a large victory parade of several thousand fans marched from the west-end cricket club to the Dockyards.

According to police however, it was a good natured crowd with no incidents to report.

Police yesterday said two minor single-vehicle accidents occurred -- one on Middle Road in Paget and the other in Sandys Parish involving visitors on cycles. No serious injuries were reported.
