A 20-year-old woman was yesterday in critical condition after two motorbikes collided with a car at the weekend.

The other woman, aged 22, suffered wrist, foot and head injuries and was also taken to the hospital.

A police spokesman said her injuries were not life-threatening and she was being treated in a general ward.

Both women are believed to be from Pembroke.
