Police this afternoon named the victims of two fatal road accidents which happened within three days.

This morning 78-year-old James McMaster, of Devonshire, died when his motorbike collided with a bus at the junction of South Road and Mission Road, near Modern Mart.

Mr. McMaster was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

A Police spokesman said: “The driver of the bus, a 50-year-old Southampton woman, was not injured but was taken to KEMH for evaluation. It appears there were passengers on the bus at the time; however there were no reported injuries.”

On Saturday 22-year-old Delmont Browne, of Paget, died after his motorcyle was involved in a three vehicle collision on Middle Road, in Paget, near Eve’s Cycles.

The Police spokesman added: “The Bermuda Police Service extends our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.”
