Accident: Female Lifted From Flipped Car
[Updated] This morning [Apr.11] emergency personnel had to lift a woman out of a car following an accident which saw the car flip over and end up on its side.
Just past 8:15am the car was traveling on Berry Hill Road towards Tee Street when it was involved in an accident. Judging by damage to the foliage, the car appeared to have struck the bushes on the northern side of the road prior to ending up on its side.
Both the Bermuda Police and Fire Service were on the scene, and three firefighters lifted the female out of the car through the side door. The gentleman who was also in the car managed to climb out the side door himself, and did not appear to have sustained any serious injuries.
The woman was placed on a stretcher, where medical staff briefly attended to her before placing her in the ambulance and transporting her to King Edward Memorial Hospital, which was only yards away. To our layman’s eyes her injuries did not appear to be life threatening, however we will update with official information as able.
Update 7:00pm: Official Police information:
Around 8:30am on Monday, April 11th Police attended an apparent single vehicle road traffic collision resulting in injury on Berry Hill Road in Paget, near the junction with Tee Street in Devonshire.
The Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service also attended the scene. Details about how the collision occurred are unclear at this time; however a car was found overturned on Berry Hill Road. A 38 year old woman had to be extricated from the car by emergency personnel. She was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for assessment; her injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
The other occupant of the vehicle, a 49 year old man, was not injured and found standing outside the car. Inquiries into the incident are ongoing.

Berry Hill (east of KEMH) road is fairly straight with one slight long curve in it. How fast does someone have to go to flip a car in this location – any location really? We’re talking SPEED here.
I’ll wonder if she was texting……and than WHAM!!!!
Speed does seem to be the cause/s here…
anyway..that’s another car off the roads.
You guys are always too damn quick to judge. You think you know everything about everything. Damn ..I am tired of your assinine coments and how quick you are to draw conclusions.
Look at the photo’s and footage. They speak for themselves.
The woman and the man were just finishing up cutting that hedge and they fell off the ladder into the vehicle because they had it jacked too high to hook up with the power lines to operate their cell phones and lactric haidge trimurs………
FYI. It doesn’t take speed to flip a vehicle like that fyi. Its just a matter of when you get your front wheel in the shrubery or any sidewalk or it can be a wall, then the driver of the vehicle panics and applys more throttle or turns the wheels in a odd direction, this then makes the wheel get under the body of the vehicle and the weight takes the rest in a flip motion and if speed is involved then it will continue to flip or slide for a distance, you will find this happening especially with SUV’s.
“more throttle” = more speed
BULL!!
LMFAO!!!!
@ TERRY…. I AGREE, TOO QUICK TO JUDGE!!!!! PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS THINKING OR ASSUMING IT WAS SPEED INVOLVED (ROLLING EYES) ITS SICKING THAT PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS QUICK TO JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS AND ALWAYS READY TO JUDGE SOMEONE ELSE!!! I JUST PRAY THAT THE PAIR INVOLVED ARE OKAY… PRAYING FOR THEM
LMAWTFO @ TERRY…….FUNNY!! Whats even funnier i pictured what you wrote
It doesn’t take much to flip a car, we do have some huge sidewalks though….Hope the driver makes a full recovery.
And GPS…it takes a lot less to ‘flip’ a person………..bawhaaaaaaaaaa
Just as an observation, I don’t believe that the weehikle flipped. To flip is to flop and there is no roof damage. Probabley taxin or a leg rub.
Great to see the ‘BFS” there. At first I thought they were from the Botanical Foliage Service which is just up the rode. Seriously, I hope the hedge makes a full recovery…….um hurd uv close cut but det haij his sureeowz need uv some Murkalgrow………….
WHO DOES THAT??? Flipping cars in Bermuda – The new sport!!! Sounds like a great new thing to do in Bermuda if you ask me.
The main thing is no one was seriously hurt…
