Sat, 2011-01-01
Police were on mobile patrol around 3:35am Saturday January 1st 2011, when they attempted to stop a man riding a motorcycle with a passenger, traveling at a high rate of speed on Angle Street. Officers followed the vehicle, however the cyclist continued at a high rate of speed, failing to come to a stop at the stop sign at the junction of Court and Angle Streets. This resulted in the motorcycle colliding with another police vehicle that was traveling south on Court Street.
Officers immediately rendered assistance to the two men on the motorcycle until the ambulance arrived and both men were taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital where they are being treated for multiple superficial wounds. Both men also received a broken leg. None of the injuries appear to be life threatening.
Traffic collision investigators were on scene and an active inquiry into this incident is underway. Police are appealing for any witnesses to this incident to contact police on 295-0011.
