Police appeal over hit and run accident
Police have called on the public to help find two people involved in a hit-and-run collision that left two men injured.
A police spokesman said that at about 9.25pm on Wednesday night, two motorcycles collided near the junction of Palmetto Road and Roberts Avenue in Devonshire.
The spokesman said: “It appears that a 58-year-old male was riding a black motorcycle east on Palmetto Road with a 44-year-old male passenger.
“An unknown motorcyclist with an unknown passenger was travelling in the opposite direction along Palmetto Road when the unknown motorcyclist overtook a car and struck the side of the eastbound motorcycle causing all four individuals – along with both motorcycles – to fall onto the road.
“It is understood that the unknown rider and the unknown passenger then got back onto the motorcycle they were travelling on, continuing west along Palmetto Road.”
The rider and passenger on the eastbound motorcycle were both taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital by ambulance for treatment.
The 58-year-old rider suffered injuries to both legs, while the 44-year-old passenger sustained injuries to both legs and his right arm.
The police spokesman added that officers were working to find the other two people involved in the collision.
Anyone with information who have not yet come forward are urged to call Pc Shandora Burrows on the main police telephone number 295-0011 or 211.
