I was afraid it was something serious in that area. I hope he makes a speedy recovery. I also hope is bike is ok too or at least not damaged beyond repair
Prayers for the rider and his family and friends.
“in the vicinity of Five Star Island” ??
Wouldn’t that have required a boat?
not if you think you’re Evel Knievel
I know this guy and he is a cool person have some consideration and keep your stupid childish comments to yourself
To o Young Observer,
Did you read the article? It was on Harbour Road. The bike hit a bus. Why would you need a boat?
I know the fellow that was injured. My thoughts and prayers are with you man! Wish i was still in Bermuda to see you. I’m sadden that I can’t be there.
I pray for him to get well soon
Southampton,
Let me clear something up. The medics that attend these accidents are NOT first responders. They are “EMTS”. There is a big difference between a first responder and an EMT. A first responder can give basic first aid, an EMT is trained to give pre-hospiital care, assess the extent of the injuries and administer certain medications if needed.
There was an off-duty EMT on scene attending to the injured person for at least
10 minutes before Port Royal Fire service and the ambulance arrived.
No body was attending to the injured person prior to this EMTs arrival. He announced who he was and took control of the scene.
My hat goes off to this EMT and his dedication to his responsibility as an EMT.
Rest in peace my beautiful friend. It was an honor to know you.
You were a great, great artist and I learned much from you.
Go with God, little brother.
