A man was taken to hospital last night after a road crash in Paget, police said.

They added that initial information suggested the “serious” incident involved a single vehicle — a motorbike.

The Bermuda Police Service said that officers and other first responders attended the scene near the junction of Cobbs Hill and the Railway Trail just before 10pm.

A spokesman added this morning: “The male motorcycle rider was said to be breathing but unresponsive.

“He was transported by ambulance to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment of his injuries.

“However, at last check he was alert and responding, but continued to receive treatment at hospital.

“The collision scene remained closed for approximately 2½ hours with traffic diversions in place at Cobbs Hill and Middle Road, as well as Cobbs Hill and Ord Road.

“We wish to thank the public for their patience and co-operation during this period.”
