24-Year-Old Man Killed In Motorcycle Collision
The holiday season continues to be marred with tragedy, with the police now confirming the death of a 24-year-old man following a motorcycle collision late on Christmas night.
Police spokesperson Dwayne Caines said: “At approximately 11:28pm Tuesday December 25th 2012, first responders were dispatched to a report of a single vehicle road traffic collision located at North Shore Road and Old Road in Hamilton Parish.”

God bless the family during this time!
Mercy Me another family greiving this holiday season. Lord be with with both families at this time.
I live near there and heard all the first responders last night and I knew something serious had happened. I was then called and told who it was this morning and I am truly horrified. To make things worse, the family has just gone through another loss very recently and now this. This Christmas season has brought them so much pain-I pray they’ll be able to look at it with joy again some day.
so sad how our men are dying so young
So sad
Praying for both families
My heart goes out to both famalies at this horrific time. May god comfort you all as we remember our love ones who has passed on! Stay strong and firm and remember the memories you’ve shared!
Very sad. . . Prayers for both of these young men’s families.
Just when we all thought we made it to Christmas without a shooting or road death, we get both on Christmas day…Two young lives gone for nothing, my condolences to both families
This family is in my prayers
OBA doesnt look like its bringing any change…. just saying..
Ya not serious doe really wah oba got 2 do wif a road death my prayers go out 2 the family
@NewGovn – You sound so stupid! Change doesn’t happen over night and furthermore the OBA has been in government for 9 days.
What does any of this have to do with politics?? God bless the family of this latest tragedy…my prayers & condolences are with you!
The most stupid post of the season. Well done.
Keep your stupid comments to yourself
You insensitive piece of trash (that’s the nicest word I’m allowed to use on here). You can’t be serious. 2 families are grieving for their young sons and all you can do is make this political? Dumbass, if you don’t have anything nice to say, keep your pie hole shut.
May the families get the strenght to get through this terrible ordeal. R.I.P. both young brothers.
Why would anyone even respond to NewGovn? Clearly this person has no sense.
Don,t be an a#s…
Your a dumb a#s!!!!!!
Grow up and show some respect for the families of both young men.
Condolences to both families.
@NewGovn; Are you for real??? C’mon-are they supposed to wave a magic wand and make all the country’s problems go away overnight? Do you honestly think they’ll be able to prevent RTA’s, disease and other tragedies? There’s only one person who has control over that and the last I heard He’s sitting up in Heaven…
NewGovn, your post is uncalled for and I thought yesterday’s post about the sirens was bad.
You and the poster from yesterday (in the other story) better be careful cause your comments are irreverent to the situation and should be deleted.
Anyway, like I said in the other story to the other poster Karma is a B***h. Watch out.
Just say nothing!
My heartfelt condolences to these families. May these young men rest in peace.
@newgovn. Shut up fool!! My condolences to the family!! Some people need to stay off Bernews with their stupidity!!
Agreed!
Ppl will blame everything on the new govt, it’s just something we gonna have to get used to… Condolences to the fam of these victims
@NewGovn -shut the heck up! A family is here mourning and your talking bout OBA. OBA hasn’t nothing to do with road fatalities by the way. People are so stupid.
R.I.P cousin. Love you. xO*
@Newgovern and Iagree@wronginfo
You both sound so STUPID what on earth does this tradegy have to do with politics:
With people like you in Bermuda we will never see or have change;
You both sound so assine: Please think before you comment: Remember KARMA:
My heart goes out to the family of both young man: I know what it feels like to lose someone around this time of year.
Shut Up: Stupid Azzes
You need to re-read Iagree@wronginfo’s post again. They were simply stating people will make anything political, they weren’t agreeing with it. A very sad situation, two more young men gone. A young child will now grow up without knowing the love of her father. Hopefully someone will step in and be that father figure that she needs. R.I.P.
Agreed-I was wondering why Oh My was jumping all over his comment; I thought I must have missed something. Looks like reading comprehension isn’t OH My’s strong suit!
R.I.P. big cousin. Love you, hope we meet up again.
May we all be sensitive and not confuse one situation with another and remember that there are families that are in pain and suffering at this hour.
Our heartfelt condolonces go out to both families that are suffering in their time of loss,through the tragic circumstances that surround both situations but the end result is death.May God strengthen you at your most weakest hour,when their are more questions then answers.
Our prayers also go out for the family of the young man who is in police custody at this hour for the shooting,as they the family are not responsible for the deeds of their loved one but equally are in pain this day because of the possibility of their loved one that may be guilty of the loss of someone else.
In all we can not make the road death political but must hold our elected officials responsible for the wave of gun violence that has reared it’s ugly head once again,as they the Government is responsible for our boarders and public safety and must be kept accountable for all that we face in this country,regardless who the government is.
So I agree that those who wish to blame or associate the government for the tragic road death,you are way out of order and we can not even directly associate them for the tragic shooting death either.we can however work together in preventing as many like occurance as possible.
It is sad to see the loss of life under any circumstance but we keep seeing young black males and this dont sit well with me as it is even more of a direct hit as I have watch both these young man grow from youth.
God strengthen all those who are effected by these tragic events and give you His peace that passe’s all understanding is our prayer.
Condolences to the family…..
*PS. On a side note to all that bothered to respond …..”Newgovern” got exactly what he wanted from you…YOUR ATTENTION!!!
RIP cuzzo!
My condolences to the family and God Bless you all.
My condolences to this young father who was very involved in his child’s life, at times was both mom and dad full time, a working man, a son, a brother. I will miss you, watching you grow up andnow you are gone. God’s strength to the family.
My condolences to the family and friends of this young man. May he rest in peace.
My condolences to Terrylyn and Michael, their children and families and friends. May you all draw on the strength offered to help you as you go through the days ahead and for the rest of your lives.
