Injury RTC
Around 2:10am on Saturday, Police attended a reported road traffic collision resulting in injury on South Road in Paget near the junction with Southcote Road involving two cars. It appears that one car was traveling east on South Road and the other car was traveling in the opposite direction when the eastbound vehicle lost control attempting to negotiate a left hand bend. As a result the cars collided, causing extensive front end damage to both vehicles. The driver of the eastbound vehicle, a 24 year old Devonshire man, sustained facial injuries and abrasions to his arms. The driver of the westbound vehicle, a 57 year old St. Georges man, complained of pain to his chest while his passenger sustained a fractured foot. The Bermuda Fire Service also attended the scene and used specialized equipment to extract the driver of the eastbound car. Both vehicles were subsequently impounded by Police. Inquiries into this incident are underway.
