A spokeswoman for the Bermuda Police Service said: “Early information suggests that a motorcycle travelling at a high rate of speed in an easterly direction on the Railway Trail failed to stop at the junction and collided with a heavy truck, travelling along George’s Bay Road, headed towards Caroline Bay.
“The rider of the motorcycle has been conveyed to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment of what were described serious facial and leg injuries.
“The driver of the truck was not reported to be injured.”
