A broken-down tractor trailer caused traffic delays in Somerset this afternoon.

A Bermuda Police Service spokesman said officers were escorting the vehicle when it experienced mechanical issues west of Somerset Bridge, near the entrance to the Railway Trial on Somerset Road.

He added: “Police are managing traffic with a single-lane system while mechanics work on site to resolve the problem.

“Motorists can expect minor delays and are advised to proceed with caution when travelling through the area.”
