A woman broke her leg when her motorcycle collided with the back of a parked truck.

The accident took place in My Lord's Bay Road, Hamilton Parish, at around 10.30 p.m. on Tuesday.

A Bermuda Police Service spokesman said: "The rider, a 39-year-old Hamilton Parish woman, negotiated a bend and collided with the rear of a parked black truck. As a result she sustained a broken left leg and a laceration to her left ankle. She was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment."

A KEMH spokeswoman described the woman's condition as "stable".

The truck was unoccupied at the time of the accident, and despite extensive damage to the motorcycle, it was not damaged.
