hours last night.

Several vehicles were involved in a trio of incidents between about 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. And although Police were still gathering information about the crashes as The Royal Gazette went to press, a Police spokesman said that nobody was thought to have been seriously injured in any of the incidents.

The first smash occurred on the North Shore near Berkeley Road, Pembroke, just before 7 p.m. when a motorcyclist travelling east lost control of the vehicle.

He was uninjured in the incident but was picked up by Police and detained overnight at Hamilton Police Station.

The second incident occurred an hour later when a cyclist was in collision with a taxi on the junction of Front Street and King Street in Hamilton. The cyclist was taken to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital with head injuries but his condition is not thought to be serious. The taxi driver, although shaken, was uninjured in the smash.

And just before 9 p.m. a third accident occurred on Collectors Hill, Smiths.

Details of the vehicles involved in the accident were still being gathered by Police as The Royal Gazette went to press.
