Fatal RTC - Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses to the fatal road traffic collision that occurred at 6am Wednesday on Berry Hill Road in Paget which claimed the life of 20 year old Geoffrey Burns of Pembroke. The other motorcyclist involved, a 58 year old Hamilton parish man, remains at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital and is currently on a general ward. He sustained serious injuries to his right hip, right wrist and a finger on his right hand; however those injuries are not life threatening at this time. Both motorcycles involved were extensively damaged. Inquiries into this incident are ongoing. Any witnesses to this collision are encouraged to contact PC Derek Simmons on 295-0011.
Damage Only RTC/Impaired Driving
At 11:40pm on Wednesday, Police attended a reported damage only road traffic collision on Harrington Sound Road in Smith’s parish near the junction with Sommersall Road involving four vehicles. It appears that a car was traveling west on Harrington Sound Road when the driver, a 60 year old Smith’s parish man, lost control. As a result the car collided with a parked motorcycle which in turn struck another parked motorcycle; that motorcycle then collided with a parked car. The driver of the car was not injured and subsequently arrested on suspicion of impaired driving. He was detained after failing the alco-analyser test. The car the Smith’s parish man was driving received extensive front end damage. One of the parked motorcycles was extensively damaged while the other received moderate damage. The parked car received relatively minor damage. The parked vehicles were apparently unattended at the time. Inquiries are underway and a court appearance is anticipated.
