Three hurt when car hit van and two parked cars
Three people were hurt in a four-vehicle collision in Southampton yesterday evening.
Police and other emergency crews responded to the incident on South Road, near its junction with Horseshoe Road, at about 7pm on Tuesday.
A spokesman for the Bermuda Police Service said today: “It now appears that a car being driven in the eastbound lane of South Road first collided with a van, being driven in the opposite direction along South Road, then struck two parked cars at the side of the road, near the westbound lane.
“Both parked cars were unoccupied at the time.
“The driver of the eastbound car, said to be a 36-year-old Pembroke man, was injured. Apparently his male passenger was not hurt.
“The driver and passenger of the van, said to be a 44-year-old Pembroke woman and a 49-year-old Sandys parish man respectively, were also injured.”
He added that none of the injuries were considered to be life threatening.
The spokesman said: “Each of the four vehicles involved were damaged and had to be towed away from the scene, with traffic diversions necessary in the area for approximately two hours.”
Inquiries continue and witnesses were encouraged to call 211.
The BPS spokesman added: “Alternatively, members of the public with relevant information regarding this collision can share what they know through the Bermuda Police Service community reporting portal https://portal.police.bm/, or by speaking with a police officer they know.”
