A mother of two succumbed to her injuries from a road traffic accident and died on Saturday.

Katrina Flood, 28, was riding her motorcycle at 3.30 a.m. on June 5 when she was involved in a single vehicle on Crow Lane near the junction of Corkscrew Hill, an area that is known as a frequent accident spot. Police say it appears she lost control of her bike.

Ms Flood was rushed to the King Edward Memorial VII Hospital with serious head internal injuries but died seven days later.

"I thought she would pull through," her neighbour Rayneika Hammond. "She was such a fighter I<\p>thought she would make it, but her kidneys had failed and there was swelling in her brain. Perhaps it was her time to go."

Ms Hammond moved in next to Ms Flood last June on Union Street. The two were not immediately friends but by October they became close and spoke daily about their children.

Ms Flood had a ten-year-old boy and eight-year-old daughter, both attend Elliott Primary School.

The two women would sit on their doorsteps after sending their children off to school every morning and have a chat before Ms Hammond would leave for her job as a security officer at Berkeley Institute.

"We would still be in our pyjamas, she had a favourite pair of Miss Kitty ones," Ms Hammond "People would drive by and say 'still in your pyjamas' but we'd just keep talking.

"She was a great mother," Ms Hammond said. "Her house was immaculate and her children's mannerisms are wonderful. They are very polite and helpful. She loved them a lot and you could see it, they were always well dressed and their hair was perfectly done. She loved them so much."

Though the two did not know each other long, Ms Hammond said she made a real impact on her life. "Katrina was a real person," she said. "She had that tough love type of persona. I had known her for just a short time but it felt like I knew her for years. When people like that come into your life that is something special."

Ms Flood, was Bermuda's seventh road fatality in 2010 she was also the seventh person to die at the junction of Corkscrew Hill in the last decade.

In September last year the Ministry of Works and Engineering decided to put up signs in the area to warn motorists to slow down and small yellow speed bumps to decrease speed.

At the time a Government spokesman said the design will "improve the current road grade allowing for better vehicular handling on Crow Lane, and providing better access from Corkscrew Hill".
