Motorcyclist trapped under bus after head-on collision
A motorcyclist was this morning in hospital after he was trapped under a bus in a head-on collision.
Police said the accident happened at about 9.20am on Saturday on Harrington Sound Road, near the junction with Quarry Road.
A spokesman said: “It appears that a head-on collision involving a motorcyclist and a Department of Public Transportation bus in the Shark Hole Hill area, resulted in the rider being temporarily trapped under the front of the bus, while still on the motorcycle.
“The injured motorcyclist, understood to be a 29-year-old Pembroke man, remained conscious throughout, as passengers from the bus assisted him until he could be extricated and transported to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment.
“At last check he remained hospitalised, with injuries that were considered non-life threatening.”
The bus driver and passengers were not hurt. However, both vehicles involved were damaged.
Any witnesses are asked to call PC Tyler Nelmes on 211, or e-mail tnelmes@bps.bm.
