It now appears that a collision reported around 7am Tuesday, 12th March 2024 on Middle Road in Southampton, near the junction with Granaway Lane, occurred when a light truck driven in the westbound lane collided with the rear of a trailer attached to a heavy truck, which had stopped in the westbound lane.

Police, Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service as well as ambulance personnel responded.

At the time, the heavy truck and trailer were stationary while a small crane was unloaded into the nearby bus layby.

It is understood that after transport to hospital via ambulance, he received treatment for injuries to his legs and was later discharged.

No one else was hurt in the collision.
