Sun, 2019-12-15
Around 8:45pm Saturday, December 14th a reported single vehicle scooter crash occurred on Blue Hole Hill in Hamilton parish.
It appears that a 44 year old Warwick man riding a 50cc rental scooter west along Blue Hole Hill struck a concrete pillar outside a home near the entrance to Grotto Bay Beach Resort.
The injured rider was assisted at the crash site by Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service personnel before being transported to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance for treatment. At last check he had been admitted to a general ward.
The 44 year old man was later arrested on suspicion of impaired driving and placed on police bail.
There were traffic delays in the area while the relevant police personnel processed the scene.

Witness Appeal: Saturday Disturbance at Somerset Cricket Club
Around 5pm Saturday, December 14th police received reports of a disturbance at the Somerset Cricket Club grounds.
Police officers were already at the location monitoring the Premier Division football match between Somerset Cricket Club and Boulevard Community Club when the incident occurred.
Details remain limited at this time. However, early information suggests that at the end of the fixture, an unknown male spectator threw a helmet at another spectator, with several altercations then taking place within the crowd.
Additional police units were called to assist in calming the situation, as security personnel and some members of the public joined efforts by police officers already at Somerset Cricket Club grounds to defuse tensions.
Police personnel later accompanied a minibus transporting Boulevard team members out of the area.
At this time, it is unclear if any members of the community present during the incident were hurt – but apparently none of the responding police officers were injured.
So far no arrests have been made in connection with this matter.
However, inquiries continue and witnesses or any individuals with relevant information are encouraged to call the main police telephone number 295-0011 or the independent and anonymous Crime Stoppers hotline 800-8477 as soon as possible.
