Mon, 2023-04-24

Around 9:25 p.m. on Sunday, April 23rd, 2023, police and emergency medical services staff were dispatched to a serious two vehicle collision on the North Shore Road near the junction with Loyal Hill in Devonshire.

Indications are a motorcar was exiting a driveway onto the west bound lane of North Shore Road, when it was struck by a motorcycle traveling west.

The male motorcycle rider was attended to at the scene by EMTs and was subsequently transported by ambulance to hospital for what were described as life threatening injuries.

At last check he was listed in critical condition in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit.

Neither the female motorcar driver nor the other two occupants of the vehicle were injured.

North Shore Road was closed off between Northridge Crescent and Loyal Hill for approximately three hours while the collision scene was processed.

Traffic headed east was initially diverted onto the Railway Trail at Northridge Crescent, with westbound traffic diverted onto the railway trail at Loyal Hill.

The diversions were then shifted to eastbound traffic being directed over Barker’s Hill at the roundabout with Palmetto Road, Devonshire, to Middle Road and westbound traffic being diverted over Store Hill, Smith’s, onto Middle Road.

An investigation into this collision has now begun and anyone with information is asked to contact Police Constable Jennifer Suter via e-mail, jsuter@bps.bm.
