At 9:40pm (Friday, March 16th), first responders attended a report of a road traffic collision that took place on Marsh Folly Road next to the Marsh Folly dump in Pembroke.
Details are still emerging but it appears that a male on a motorcycle was traveling east and collided with another male motorcyclist traveling in the opposite direction.
The 35 year old male and the 29 year old male died as a result of their injuries.
No information on the deceased individuals will be given until the next of kin has been notified.
The area has been cordoned off whilst the relevant police officers process the scene. Any witnesses to the collision should contact police on 295-0011.
Update: Saturday, March 17th - The Bermuda Police Service can now confirm the deaths of 29 year old Mr. Demarcvjai Williams as well as 34 year old Mr. Marco Salema – the second and third road fatalities of 2018 – and extends sincere condolences to their respective families and friends.
It appears that the fatal collision involving the two men occurred around 9:30pm Friday, March 16th as Mr. Williams was riding a motorcycle in the eastbound lane of Marsh Folly Road, Pembroke and Mr. Salema was riding a motorcycle in the opposite direction.
Apparently after the two motorcyclists collided, one of the motorcycles involved also came into contact with a light truck being driven in the westbound lane of Marsh Folly Road.
Both riders were seriously injured and despite life saving efforts at the scene, which continued as they were rushed to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital in separate ambulances, sadly each man was later pronounced dead.
The light truck driver, believed to be a 55 year old Devonshire man, was not hurt.
A Family Liaison Officer has been assigned to assist the families of the deceased following this tragic incident.
Traffic was diverted away from the area for approximately five hours while the relevant police personnel processed the scene.
The damaged vehicles (two motorcycles and light truck) were subsequently impounded.
The investigation regarding the circumstances of this fatal collision continues and any witnesses are urged to contact Constable Derek Simmons on the main police telephone number 295-0011 at the earliest opportunity.
