Accident driver could face charges

Thursday's head on crash with news the baby boy injured was flown off the Island on Saturday for treatment.

Police reported yesterday the driver apparently fell asleep at the wheel while driving near the junction of South and Cobbs Hill Road.

His grey Suzuki car veered into the path of a Suzuki Vitara as he drove a woman in the front passenger seat who was holding the two-month old boy.

The little boy suffered serious head injuries and was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital and later listed in stable condition. But early Saturday he was airlifted to the US.

The driver of the Suzuki Vitara, David Furbert was not injured.

A Police spokesman said yesterday "prosecution in this case is likely'. At press time the baby's condition was understood to still be stable in a Boston area hospital.

TWO INJURED IN WEEKEND ASSAULTS CRM Two injured in weekend assaults Police are looking for at least three people involved in two separate assaults over the weekend.

Two men allegedly attacked a 30-year-old man they knew at a Fenton's Drive, Pembroke home shortly before 8 p.m. Friday.

They apparently beat the man about the head with a motorcycle muffler and also stabbed him with a kitchen utensil, causing a minor laceration and abrasions.

In the other incident, a man lost several teeth after he was knocked down by a man with an unidentified object as he rode along the railway trail in Sandys early yesterday.

The victim reported to Police he was riding his motorcycle along the trail near Bob's Valley Lane, shortly after 1 a.m. when an unknown person struck him with something resembling a piece of wood.

He fell off his cycle and the robber took his cell phone and left the area on foot.

The man was able to make it to Somerset Police Station and was taken to hospital via ambulance.

TAKE A WALK ON THE SUNSHIEN SIDE FNR Take a walk on the sunshine side Recreational walkers are invited to try the hobby with a new twist through the Sunshine League's Moon Walk on July 15.

The five-and-a-half mile walk from Warwick Playground to St. Ann's Church and back is being organised by the league's special events committee.

Refreshments will be served at the playground after the walk.

"The Sunshine League is important to Bermuda because we have an 80-year history in Bermuda as a non-profit foster home,'' home director Karen Hodgson said. "We have often been there when no one else has.

"This will be a walk with a difference -- it's under a full moon!'' Ms Hodgson added.

"We thought we should do something different for this walk,'' she said.

"It's summertime and the evenings are a lot cooler than the days. We thought we could capture the best and largest crowd.'' Registration for the walk is $5 and the first 200 people get a free T-shirt, complements of Lombard Odier (Bermuda) Ltd.

Pledge sheets and registration are available from Jennifer at the Sunshine League at 292-4360 and at the Hamilton MarketPlace on July 13 and 14.
