An 18-year-old Sandys man remains in stable condition in hospital, in the wake of yesterday’s serious two-vehicle crash in the area of Jews Bay.

The crash shortly before 1.30pm near the junction with Avocado Lane, appears to have occurred after two motorcyclists overtook a van, police said this afternoon.

The first bike, carrying a pillion passenger who remains in intensive care at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, struck the roadside railings after losing control. The second rider slid out on the wet road in an attempt to avoid it.

All three were injured, but an 18-year-old Southampton man and a 22-year-old Warwick man have since been discharged from hospital.

Inquiries continue, and any witnesses are asked contact the main police telephone number, 295-0011.
