Two occupants of a car that hit a wall in Somerset this afternoon after a collision with a motorcycle have been taken to hospital for treatment.

Police said the vehicles struck on Somerset Road in Sandys, just outside of the Willowbank Resort, shortly after 5pm.

The car, headed west, was occupied by a female driver and a male passenger, both believed to be seniors.

Early information suggested that the driver lost control, crossing into the path of a motorcyclist before colliding with a wall in the opposing lane.

Both occupants were transported to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Police said shortly before 6.30pm that the extent of their injuries was not known.

The female motorcyclist was not reported to be injured.

Traffic was diverted through a single-lane system while the scene was processed.

Police appealed for anyone who may have witnessed the collision to contact 295-0011 or 211.
