Tue, 2024-05-21

Around 5:10am Tuesday, 21st May 2024, a reported single vehicle collision occurred on South Road in Smith’s parish, near the junction with Collector’s Hill.

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

It appears that the car involved was being driven along South Road when the vehicle struck a sidewalk, a wall and a utility pole, ending up on its side.

The driver, understood to be a 25-year-old Paget man, was temporarily trapped inside the vehicle, before emergency services personnel were able to extricate him.

Apparently the 25-year-old man remained conscious throughout and sustained non-life threatening injuries.

Area traffic diversions were in effect for approximately one and a half hours, until the collision site was processed and the damaged car was towed away.

Inquiries continue and any witnesses are encouraged to call 211.
