Around 3:35pm on Wednesday June 13th, police and first responders were dispatched to a serious road traffic collision on Harbour Road in Paget between the junctions of Manse Road and Chapel Road.
It appears that a rental cycle and a car were traveling along Harbour Road when they collided. The rider of the rental cycle, a 37 year old U.K. man was seriously injured and taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance. He subsequently succumbed to his injuries.
His pillion passenger, a 36 year old U.K. woman was taken to hospital for treatment of reportedly minor injuries. There were no other injuries reported.
Traffic was diverted from Harbour Road to Middle Road at the junctions of Manse Road and Chapel Road while collision investigators conducted inquiries at the scene. The road has since been reopened to normal traffic flow.
No further information will be released until the next of kin has been notified. The investigation into this fatal collision is ongoing.
This marks the second road fatality for 2012. |
