Collision in Paget - Around 6:30pm on Thursday, September 27th police and first responders attended a reported collision on South Road in Paget near the junction with Harvey Road. It appears that a car and a motorcycle were traveling along South Road when the vehicles collided.
As a result the motorcycle rider and his pillion passenger, a 25 year old Warwick woman, were injured. Both victims were taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment. The male rider was later discharged while the female pillion passenger is currently in stable condition on a general ward.
The car driver, a 48 year old Smith’s parish man, was not injured and arrested on suspicion of impaired driving. He was subsequently detained after failing the alco-analyser test. Both vehicles were damaged, the motorcycle extensively. Inquiries into this collision are ongoing and a court appearance for the car driver is anticipated in due course.
Updated Traffic Advisory: Middle Road, Southampton
The motoring public is advised that trenching is continuing along Middle Road, Southampton in connection with Government’s road-widening project in the area near Waterlot Inn.
Other utilities have since taken the opportunity to participate in the project. As a result, road improvement work that was scheduled to conclude at the end of September will now continue until the end of October.
All road users should continue to adhere to the traffic lights in the area, which will remain in place. In addition, police officers will continue to direct traffic during ‘morning rush hours.’
Motorists are still encouraged to use caution when traveling through this area while the roadwork is ongoing, or consider taking an alternate route until the project is completed.
