Two men were admitted to hospital last night after a collision that involved a motorcyclist and a senior pedestrian.

The Bermuda Police Service said that the vehicle, driven by a 26-year-old man, was being ridden in the westbound lane of Parsons Road, Pembroke, when it made contact with a 68-year-old man who was crossing the street.

The men, both from Devonshire, were taken to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment.

A police spokesman said that the rider was in the Intensive Care Unit at last check, while the pedestrian remained in the hospital to receive treatment.

The scene was processed and inquiries continued today.
