Two men suffered minor injuries during yesterday's Round the Island power boat race.

A spokesman for Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre said the men were hurt when their boat "nose-dived into a wave".

Bermuda Police Service spokesman Robin Simmons said the incident happened near St. David's at about 3.30 p.m. and the driver and co-pilot of the vessel were taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment. He had no other details.

The spokesman for the Maritime Operations Centre said there was another minor accident during the race near Five Star Island, Southampton.
