    I’m still looking for any write-up on the collision between a private car and (I believe) a loaner taxi yesterday (May 5) on Middle Road, Southampton. Traffic was held up for quite a while in both directions…but I haven’t seen one mention of it from ANY news source…

      We would guess no one contacted any of the news sources, so hence no one knew.

      That said, statistically speaking, there are around 35 collisions a week in Bermuda – most go unreported.

      If we had known at that time, we would have covered it, but this is the first we have heard. Please always feel free to let us know things at the time they are occurring. Emailed tips are always appreciated :-)

        I’ll do that…unfortunately, I don’t have email on my phone. (Took it off after I got a HUGE bill after a vacation!)
