Around 4:45am on Saturday, Police attended a reported serious road traffic collision resulting in injury on South Road in Paget near the junction with St. Paul’s Lane involving two motorcycles. Details about how the collision occurred are unclear at this time; however, it appears that the motorcycles were traveling in opposite directions when they collided.

Both injured parties were taken to KEMH via ambulance for treatment; at last check the 28 year old Paget man was in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit.
