Bermuda's tenth road fatality of 2008 was yesterday named by Police as 45-year-old Emanuel Pereira.

The Devonshire man suffered serious head injuries after losing control of his motorcycle on Crow Lane in Paget late on Saturday night.

He was rushed to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead just after 11 p.m.

Police said yesterday they were still investigating the single-vehicle crash, which saw Mr. Pereira's bike smash into traffic lights on the left hand side of the road.

"The Bermuda Police Service would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased," said a spokesman.

Mr. Pereira's death means the Island is on course to record one of its worst ever years for fatal crashes, with all ten fatalities coming in the past three and half months.

There was another crash at the weekend which put two men in hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

The three-vehicle accident happened at about 9 a.m. on Sunday in Warwick.

Police said a motorcycle travelling west on Middle Road collided with two cars — one travelling east on Middle Road and turning right into Cobbs Hill Road and the other travelling north on Cobbs Hill Road and about to make a right turn onto Middle Road.

The 19-year-old motorcyclist, from Pembroke, suffered abrasions to his face, hands and right leg and his passenger, a 19-year-old man from Sandys, was also taken to KEMH via ambulance for treatment of injuries.

The car drivers, a 34-year-old Warwick woman and a 58-year-old Warwick woman, were not injured.

The motorcycle was extensively damaged while the cars received moderate damage. Traffic was diverted away from the scene.

Police said yesterday there were nine road accidents over the weekend which caused injury and eight in which only the vehicles were damaged.

Eight vehicles were taken without their owners' consent and two people were arrested on suspicion of impaired driving.

Anyone with information about any of the above should call Police on 295-0011.
