Biker hurt in fall

A motorcyclist suffered injuries to his left leg and shoulder after falling from his bike.

The driver, a 34-year-old Sandy's man, lost control of the vehicle in Middle Road, Southampton, near the junction with Church Road, at 10.30 p.m. on Saturday.

A Bermuda Police Service spokesman said: "The Sandys parish man sustained injuries to his left shoulder and left leg. He was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment.

"The motorcycle received minor damage. Inquiries into this incident are underway."

Car overturns

A car crashed into a wall after the driver lost control in the early hours of Saturday.

The incident happened in North Shore Road, Hamilton Parish, near the junction with Studio Lane at 4.50 a.m.

A Bermuda Police Service spokesman said: "It appears that a car was travelling west on North Shore Road when the driver, a 29-year-old St. George's man, lost control and collided with a wall, causing the vehicle to overturn."

The man received a scratch above his right eye and his front seat passenger, a 29-year-old man from Devonshire, suffered a sore neck and back.

The car was "extensively" damaged but both men declined treatment. Police inquiries are continuing.

Man breaks leg, arm

A man broke his arm and leg after being thrown from his motorcycle in a collision with a car.

The accident happened at 12.20 a.m. on Saturday in Knapton Hill, Smith's.

A Bermuda Police Service spokesman said: "It appears that a motorcycle was travelling west on Knapton Hill and a car was travelling in the opposite direction when the vehicles collided.

"As a result the rider of the motorcycle, a 24-year-old Southampton man, was thrown from the vehicle and landed in a nearby yard. He sustained a fractured right arm and left leg.

"He was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment. The driver of the car, an 18-year-old Pembroke man, sustained an injury to his right eye.

"The motorcycle was extensively damaged while the car received moderate damage to its front end and right side. Inquiries into this incident are underway."

A KEMH spokeswoman said the motorcyclist is on a general ward where his condition is "stable".
