Two riders hurt in a collision yesterday in Pembroke suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, police confirmed today.

The incident happened on Crow Lane at about 1.15pm.

The Bermuda Police Service said it appeared that a motorcyclist was leaving Hamilton and a 50cc-scooter rider was travelling in the opposite direction when they collided, as the scooter rider tried to turn up Spurling Hill.

It added: “BPS, Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service, as well as ambulance personnel, responded.

“It is understood that the 17-year-old local male 50cc-scooter rider was treated at the scene for non-life threatening leg injuries, while the motorcyclist, said to be a 43-year-old Pembroke man, apparently sustained injuries to his face, hands and legs.

“The motorcyclist was transported to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment and later discharged.”
