Car crashes down embankment
A Southampton man narrowly escaped serious injury after his car crashed and rolled down an embankment near The Reefs hotel.
According to a Police spokeswoman, at around 1.25am yesterday the vehicle, a yellow Peugeot, went off the road to the east of the Southampton resort’s car park, striking a palm tree and rolling down the bank.
Yesterday afternoon, a crew worked to recover the damaged vehicle.
The spokeswoman said: “It appears that a car was travelling along South Road near the junction with Tribe Road Number Three when it went over an embankment.
“The driver, a 30-year-old Southampton man received relatively minor injuries.”
Yesterday, police and first responders also attended a collision between a car and a motorcycle on Palmetto Road in Devonshire, causing traffic delays.
The spokeswoman said: “It appears the vehicles were travelling along Palmetto Road when they collided near the junction with Aeolia Drive.”
The driver of the car, a 68-year-old Warwick woman was not injured, but the motorcycle ricer, a 33-year-old Hamilton Parish woman was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment.
