Tue, 2014-09-16

Around 10:30pm on Monday, September 15th first responders attended a reported single vehicle collision on Marsh Folly Road in Pembroke near the junction with Bishop Spencer Road.

It appears that a van was being driven along Marsh Folly Road when it collided with a curb and overturned. The driver, a 56 year old Hamilton parish woman, sustained minor injuries.

She was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for medical assessment and later discharged. The damaged van was subsequently towed from the scene.

Taxi & Car Collide in Sandys Parish

Around 3:30pm on Monday, September 15th first responders were dispatched to a reported two vehicle collision on Somerset Road in Sandys parish, near the junction with Beacon Hill Road.

It appears that a taxi and a car were being driven along Somerset Road when the vehicles collided, with the taxi ending up on its side.

Neither driver reported being injured; however the taxi’s three passengers, believed to be a 52 year old man, a 50 year old woman and a 10 year old girl, were taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for medical assessment.
