A female motorcyclist sustained head and facial injuries in a two-vehicle accident in Devonshire this afternoon (May 13).
Police say the accident occurred around 2:30pm involving a car and the motorcycle at the junction of Palmetto Road and Parson’s Lane.
A police spokesman said it appears the rider was travelling west along Palmetto Road “when she collided with the motor car, which was exiting Parson’s Lane making a right-hand turn, east on to Palmetto Road”.
“The motorcycle rider sustained head and facial injuries, but remained conscious and alert while being attended to at the scene by EMTs. She was subsequently transported by ambulance to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital,” he said.
“The motorcycle was extensively damaged while the motorcar was left with damage to the right rear.
“The female driver and the other two occupants of the motorcar were not reported to be injured.
“Traffic diversions were implemented while the scene was forensically processed.”
Anyone who may have witnessed this incident or who may have information on it, is asked to contact Constable Taye Lambe on 515-2565 or via e-mail tlambe@bps.bm
The line in the release just sent which reads “with the motorcar which was exiting Parson’s Lane making a right hand turn, east onto Parson’s Lane” should actually read “ with the motorcar which was exiting Parson’s Lane making a right hand turn, east onto Palmetto Road.”
