Response to Collision at Somerset Bridge
Tue, 2010-02-23
The Bermuda Police Service would like to apologise to the motoring public that were inconvenienced due to the serious road traffic collision that occurred in the area of Somerset Bridge around 4:40pm Monday.
The traffic delay was the unfortunate result of a ‘perfect storm’ of circumstances – the timing of the collision coincided with the evening rush hour and the location of the collision near Somerset Bridge produced a bottleneck that could not be re-routed. The victim’s injuries were first reported as life threatening, and as such a full investigation was commenced that included a forensic examination of the scene.
