Witness Appeal: Alleged Hit & Run Involving a Car & Teen Male Student

Inquiries are underway regarding an alleged hit and run, involving a car and a teen male student walking in Devonshire Monday morning, 13th January 2025.

Details remain very limited at this time, as the Bermuda Police Service (BPS) was made aware of this alleged incident several hours after it apparently occurred.

It is believed that a car, understood to be driven by a woman, came into contact with the teen pedestrian, said to be a 13-year-old male, somewhere in the Hermitage Road, Middle Road Devonshire area, just before or just after 8am Monday.

It appears that the student had gotten off a public bus in the area, just prior to the alleged incident.

Reportedly, the female driver stopped to check on the teen, before continuing on.

At last check the 13-year-old’s mother had taken him to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for medical assessment.

So far, there is no indication that the young man was seriously hurt.

Any witnesses, as well as the driver of the car involved, are asked to call Constable Oba Swan on 211, or e-mail oswan@bps.bm, at the earliest opportunity.

Alternatively, members of the public with relevant information are encouraged to share it with a police officer they know, or provide it through the BPS online community reporting portal, https://portal.police.bm/.


All incidents are under investigation. Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
