Wed, 2007-10-17
At 2:30pm today, Police attended a reported damage only road traffic collision on Crow Lane in Pembroke, near the North Round-a-bout involving two tractor trailers. It appears the two Correia construction vehicles were part of a three vehicle convoy (escort vehicle and two tractor trailers) carrying a load of steel to Dockyard when the tractor trailer at the rear of the convoy collided with a steel girder on the tractor trailer in front of it, after the lead tractor trailer stopped as another vehicle was negotiating the round-a-bout. This resulted in damage to the front end and windshield of the trailing tractor trailer. The drivers of both vehicles were not injured. Inquiries into this incident are underway.
High Speed Chase
Police responded to a report of a road traffic collision that took place on Parsons Road in Devonshire at 3:50pm today. It appears that Police officers were in pursuit of a white Skoda motorcar with two occupants traveling east on that said road when the driver of the Skoda collided with a grey car traveling in the same direction. This resulted in the grey car flipping over. The driver of the white car then drove approximately 100 meters before he and his passenger made good their escape on foot. However, they were apprehended by Police in the area shortly afterwards, arrested and detained. The two individuals in the grey car were taken to KEMH and are being treated for what are believed to be minor injuries. Another car in the area received minor damage and the occupants, a mother and infant, were unhurt. Inquiries into this matter are ongoing.
