Teen Injured: Bus & Motorcycle Collide

[Updated with video] At approximately 7:45am this morning [Dec 1] an accident occurred on St David’s main road [just east of Chapel of Ease] which saw a motorcycle and a bus collide. Traffic was held up for a brief time while the Police and emergency personnel attended to the 16-year-old motorcyclist.
