First responders attended a report of a road traffic collision that took place at 5:39am in the area of South Road and Vickers Bay Road in Devonshire.

It appears that a truck was travelling west on South Road when the driver lost control of his vehicle and collided with two walkers, a 52 year old woman and a 32 year old man.

Both were taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital and are being treated for injuries that are believed to be serious but not life threatening.

The driver was arrested on the scene for driving whilst impaired.

The scene is currently being processed by forensic officers as well as traffic collision investigators and traffic is being diverted in the area.
