Cruise Ship Visitor Injured In Cycle Crash
A female cruise ship visitor was injured after crashing her rental cycle in Hamilton Parish on Wednesday [Sept 27].
A Police spokesperson said, “Shortly before 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 27th, 2023, police and other first responders were dispatched to a single vehicle road traffic collision involving a female visitor on North Shore Road, near the junction with East Point Lane, Hamilton Parish.
“The victim, who along with her husband arrived on board the cruise ship Carnival Magic, was reportedly traveling west on a livery cycle along North Shore Road, when she lost control of the vehicle and collided with an embankment. Her husband was apparently riding ahead of her, on another livery cycle, at the time.
“She sustained multiple injuries to the head and body and was unresponsive, but breathing, while being attended to at the scene by EMTs.
“She was subsequently transported by ambulance to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, where at last check, she was conscious and alert and continued to receive treatment for her injuries which are considered serious, but non-life-threatening.
“There were delays as a result of the collision, with traffic being diverted away from the scene which remained closed for just over an hour, while being forensically processed.
“The Bermuda Police Service wish to thank the public for their understanding and cooperation during the temporary road closure.
“An investigation into this collision is now underway and anyone with information is asked to contact P.C. Rhonda Pitt on 717-2120 or, via email rpitt@bps.bm.”
