Injury RTC - At 12 noon on Tuesday, Police attended a reported road traffic collision resulting in injury on Harbour Road in Paget near the junction with Manse Road involving a car and a motorcycle. It appears that the motorcycle was traveling east on Harbour Road and the car was traveling in the opposite direction when the vehicles collided as traffic attempted to negotiate a stationary truck in the eastbound lane which was delivering material to a roadside construction site in the area. As a result the rider of the motorcycle, a 21 year old Paget man, sustained a broken right leg. He was taken to KEMH via ambulance for treatment.
The Bermuda Police Service continues to advise the motoring public to slow down and to drive as well as ride responsibly on the island’s roads. Additionally, we urge those traveling in cars to use their seatbelts at all times and make sure any children traveling in the vehicle are appropriately restrained. Those traveling on motorcycles should always fasten their helmets and avoid making a third lane.
