A woman tourist and taxi driver were rushed to hospital tonight after a cab overturned on South Shore.

A police spokesman said the injured pair’s condition was unknown, but not thought to be life-threatening.

He added: “The driver exited the taxi on his own accord however the female passenger had to be extricated from the taxi by the Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service.”

The crash happened just after 7pm on Lighthouse Hill, Southampton, near the Henry VIII restaurant.

Lighthouse Hill has been cordoned off while the scene is examined by accident investigators.
