An American visitor is in the Intensive Care Unit of King Edward VII Memorial Hospital after a rental cycle crashed yesterday.

The 42-year-old man and his 43-year-old female pillion passenger, from Ohio, were both hurt when the vehicle struck the kerb on South Road, Paget, near the junction with St Paul’s Lane, at about 8pm.

This morning, police said the man remained in a stable condition, although the woman was treated and discharged from hospital last night.

Witnesses should call police on 295-0011.
