No Serious Injuries After Three Vehicle Collision in Hamilton Parish

Around 6pm Saturday, February 9th police and fellow first responders were dispatched to a reported three vehicle collision at the junction of North Shore Road and Somers Hill Road in Hamilton parish.

It appears that the collision occurred as a car driver attempting to exit Somers Hill Road and a light truck driver traveling in the eastbound lane of North Shore Road were struck by another car driver traveling eastward, who attempted to overtake the light truck.

All three vehicles involved were damaged, with the eastbound car ending up on an embankment and the light truck over the embankment, ending up on the Railway Trail.

Apparently a passenger in one of the vehicles, said to be a 10 year old girl, sustained a minor mouth injury and was treated at the scene by emergency medical technicians.

There were no other injuries reported and traffic diversions in the area were in effect for approximately one hour.

Witnesses are encouraged to contact Constable Simon Fraser on the main police telephone number 295-0011.
