A St George’s man was critically injured after crashing his rental scooter into a wall and a metal post last night.

The 44-year-old rider suffered a serious leg injury in the incident on Wellington Slip Road, St George’s, at about 10.50pm.

Police say he struck the low wall before continuing on to an area of grass near the roadside, where he struck the post.

He was taken by ambulance to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, and was listed in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit this morning.

Meanwhile, a 66-year-old cyclist from Devonshire injured in a crash on Saturday night remains in critical condition in the ICU.
