Two teenagers were taken to hospital yesterday after their motorcycle collided with the back of a stationary car in Hamilton.

The 16-year-old boy and girl suffered minor injuries in the smash, which happened at about 3.45 p.m. outside Bermuda High School on Serpentine Road.

Witnesses said the silver car was stood outside the school, possibly letting traffic out from the school car park into the road, when the bike came around the bend and into the back of it.

The rear window of the car was shattered and the bike also suffered some damage.

The teenage boy, who was riding the bike, was able to walk to the ambulance but suffered an injury to his right arm.

His passenger was stretchered into the ambulance but was conscious and able to speak.

The woman driver of the car, believed to be a music teacher on the Island, was distressed but not physically hurt.

Police had to direct traffic around the scene until the vehicles were moved to the side of the road and debris had been cleared.

Tiffany Dawson, 17, a friend of the female victim, said both teenagers seemed to be suffering only minor injuries.

The teenagers were taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment to their wounds yesterday.

Meanwhile the 26-year-old motorcyclist involved in a road smash in nearby Woodlands Road on Thursday morning remained in a critical condition last night.

The rider is believed to have slammed into the side of a truck as it turned into Woodlands Playhouse Nursery and Pre-School at about 9.15 a.m.

He is thought to have sustained head and internal injuries and remained in the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital last night where doctors described him as being in a critical but stable condition.

On Woodlands Road, a frustrated nursery owner vowed a crusade to right traffic wrongs after having witnessed a second accident in just more than 24 hours.

At about 4 p.m. yesterday, the area's traffic was once again slowed down after a van and car collision. Yesterday's accident resulted in no injuries, but Woodlands Playhouse Nursery and Pre-School owner Sabrina Kirby said she was "fed up'' with the lack of care that motorists continue to show.

Mrs. Kirby is particularly outraged with the Saltus Grammar School exit and access entrance at the base of the hill.

She said it was one of the main causes of traffic accidents and called for action before tragedy struck.

"Saltus is the problem,'' she said. "Planning granted Saltus approval to build that gate, but it's causing so many problems.'' In response to Mrs. Kirby's concerns, Ian MacCleod, principle highway engineer for Works and Engineering, said he planned to address the problem.

"I will be looking into it and we will be discussing it,'' he said.

He agreed that the accidents that occur on Woodlands Road were too frequent and maintained that his department was concerned about road safety measures.
