road accident riddle in Bermuda.

Mr. John Getling remains convinced somebody in Bermuda holds the key to the mystery.

But a week of inquiries here have drawn a blank -- reducing the chance of Bermuda's Police being sued in for vast damages.

English crash victim Mr. Duncan Dlomo was brain damaged and blinded in an eye in the September 14, 1990 accident.

He claims a Police car struck him from behind as he rode a motorcycle in Middle Road, Southampton.

Police said Mr. Dlomo, then 27, was thought to have lost control of his bike and collided with a wall.

Yesterday his English solicitor Mr. Getling said he had been unable to shed light on the crash.

"I'm obviously disappointed. I feel that there was probably more to find out.

"I feel that there is someone who can help me, but I'm not a soothsayer who can tell who this person is. I can't magically conjure this person up before me.'' Mr. Getling went on: "I have spoken to everybody that my client gave me the names of.

"But no one has been able to help, although one person did not want to speak to me.'' People he contacted included Mr. Dlomo's former employers at the Bank of Bermuda, and a woman at the Rising Sun Shop, near the crash scene.

"I also approached the woman at whose house the bike ended up. In actual fact it landed in her front drive.

"She told me I was the first person in three years to knock on her door about the accident.'' Mr. Getling, who has been staying at Southampton Princess, had hoped to gather enough information to launch a lawsuit in England against Bermuda's Police.

But now he thinks a lawsuit is "unlikely at the moment''.

Mr. Getling came here after the British Government stumped up money towards Mr. Dlomo's expenses through the Legal Aid system.

It was uncertain whether Mr. Dlomo would get Legal Aid cash to pursue the investigation.

Mr. Getling added he would be consulting with English barrister Mr. David Giles, who would probably represent Mr. Dlomo in any court case.

Mr. Giles has previously provided Mr. Dlomo and Mr. Getling legal advice.

And he has criticised witness statements by five Policemen of the accident.

Mr. Giles said the statements contained "a number of discrepancies.''
