A 31 year old Warwick woman was arrested on suspicion of impaired driving following a collision on Sunday that resulted in a 14 year old girl needing medical attention.
A police spokesperson said, “Around 6pm on Sunday, October 5th first responders attended a reported two vehicle collision on Middle Road in Warwick near the junction with Khyber Pass.
“It appears that two cars were being driven along Middle Road in opposite directions when they collided.
“A passenger in one of the cars, a 14 year old Warwick girl, was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for medical assessment and later discharged.
“Both vehicles apparently received extensive front end damage.
“The 31 year old Warwick woman driving one of the cars involved was arrested on suspicion of impaired driving. A court appearance is anticipated in due course.”
WE need to slow down Bermuda and stop drinking and driving!!
Glad the girl appears ok.
Drinking and driving remains tolerated on the island.
why would you say its tolerated, these people are being put in court and taken off the road, what more could be done within reason.
Now, with the more strict legislation requiring identification to purchase alcohol, it is as good a time as any to start cracking down on drunk driving. Checkpoints outside of town EVERY weekend. No matter how many people have to be locked up, we have to get the point across. It is culturally acceptable in Bermuda to drink and drive and the only way to change that is with drastic measures.
