Three people remained in serious condition in King Edward VII Memorial Hospital last night following two accidents on the Island's roads.

The six-year-old girl who was knocked down in Warwick as she made her way to her summer day camp on Thursday morning was still listed as critical in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) last night, where she was taken with severe head and chest injuries.

And early yesterday morning, a 21-year-old woman suffered serious head injuries, a broken right knee and a fractured lower right jaw after two bikes collided in Pembroke.

The young woman, who is not being named, was also being treated in the ICU last night, where she was described as stable.

The other rider involved in the accident, a man, who is also not being named, received head and leg injuries and was in a critical condition on a general ward.

The two cycles collided at about 1.55 a.m. on Parsons Road in Pembroke, but details surrounding the accident remained unclear yesterday.

Police are appealing for any witnesses to the accident to call them with information.

And yesterday, officers investigating the collision outside Purvis Primary School on St. Mary's Road, Warwick, on Thursday morning were still looking to speak to anyone who saw the six-year-old Somerset girl knocked down as she walked across the pedestrian crossing.

The Royal Gazette reported yesterday how Minister of Youth and Sport Dale Butler had ordered an investigation into how the accident had happened because the youngster was making her way to a Government-run summer day camp at the school with her older brother.

He went to the hospital on Thursday to visit the girl's family and promised that if anything needed to be done to prevent a similar incident occurring again, it would be done.

Anyone with information about either accident should call Police on 295-0011.

* In yesterday's report on the Warwick road accident, it was wrongly stated that Education Minister Paula Cox visited the family of the injured girl at the hospital with Minister Dale Butler. Mr. Butler did go to the hospital and talk to the family, but, in fact, it was another representative from the Education Ministry who went to the hospital, but they did not make contact with the family.
