Two Injured In Motorcycle Accident
[Updated] There was an accident involving two motorcycles in the Botanical Gardens area of South Road in Paget this morning [Oct.7]. We unofficially understand that two persons were injured and two ambulances attended. Traffic in the South Road area was diverted while emergency personnel tended to the injured riders, and police officers investigated the scene. We will update with official information as able.
Update: A police spokesperson said, “Around 8:55am on Friday [Oct.7], police and first responders attended a reported road traffic collision resulting in injury on South Road in Paget in the vicinity of the Botanical Gardens involving two motorcycles.
“It appears that both vehicles were traveling along South Road in Paget when they collided. The riders of the motorcycles, a 30 year old Smith’s parish woman and a 32 year old Pembroke woman, were injured and taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment. Both victims were subsequently released. A female pillion passenger on one of the motorcycles was apparently not injured.

I do pray the two injured individuals will be ok.
Cycle riders have to learn that when they see traffic stop, it is for a reason – stay where you are, stay within the yellow lines and be patient. This morning travelling to work on the bus, a car was allowed to pull out of the driveway to go East when out of the traffic an impatient cycle rider very narrowly missed being hit and seriously injured.
Also, drivers you do not give way to traffic at stop signs at the Flatts round-about/traffic triangle going east or entering the Village – I don’t get it… and, there is no 3rd lane coming from the stop sign closest to Bright Side Guest House…
I don’t get it! I assume one of them can’t ride. Lord please protect me on my bike from all these non drivers.
