Eighth Road Fatality for 2012

Around 2:20pm on Tuesday, September 18th police and first responders were dispatched to a reported serious collision on North Shore Road in Devonshire near the junction with Cable Hill. It appears that a motorcycle and a car were traveling along North Shore Road when they collided at the entrance of Terceira's gas station.

The motorcycle rider, a 45 year old St. George's man, was seriously injured as a result and taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance where he later succumbed to his injuries. At this time, it does not appear that the occupants of the car were injured.

No further details regarding the deceased will be given until the next of kin has been notified. A full investigation into this fatal collision is underway and any witnesses are encouraged to contact PC Timothy Evelyn at the Roads Policing Unit on 295-0011.

This marks the eighth road fatality for 2012.

Police are appealing to members of the public who have witnessed these incidents or may have information pertaining to them to contact their respective Police Station, Police Headquarters at 295-0011 or the confidential Crimestoppers Hotline on 1 (800) 623-8477.
