A Police spokesman said, “Around 2:15pm on Friday, July 22nd police and first responders attended a reported road traffic collision resulting in injury at the junction of Ord Road and Cobbs Hill Road in Paget involving an auxiliary cycle and a Bermuda Gas truck.”

“It appears that the auxiliary cycle was traveling along Cobbs Hill Road and the Bermuda Gas truck was traveling along Ord Road when the vehicles collided at the junction. The rider of the auxiliary cycle, a 15 year old young man from Warwick, sustained minor injuries as a result.”

      Did you read any part of the post besides the headline? ” A 15-year-old was arrested on suspicion of stealing a bike and riding underage, after the bike he was riding collided with a Bermuda Gas truck on the junction of Cobbs Hill and Ord Road this past Friday [July 22]. “

    Let’s see what excuse his Mama makes for his behaviour when he shows up in court. You knwo somehow all of this won’t be his fault. ‘Cause like everyone else, he’s a “good boy”. SMH.

      Or maybe she should try “He was at home wif me watching dvd’s”. That one always works.

    the bike he stole belonged to someone i know. my bike was also stolen from the same location (darrell’s wharf). perhaps it’s time to implement some sort of security down there….? the bikes being stolen aren’t ‘high profile’ and are locked (handlebars). it’s ridiculous, really.
