A woman was taken to hospital on Sunday evening after being struck by a car in a road traffic collision that also led to the arrest of the driver, who police say was behind the wheel while disqualified from driving.

Police and Emergency Medical Services personnel were dispatched to the scene at around 7:10 p.m. on Sunday, October 4, 2026, following reports of a collision involving a pedestrian and a motor car. The injured woman was attended to at the scene before being transported to hospital for treatment. Authorities have not yet released details regarding the extent of her injuries or her current condition.

The male driver of the vehicle involved was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving while disqualified, a serious offence under Bermuda's road traffic laws. He was taken into police custody as investigations into the circumstances of the collision got underway.

Police have not confirmed the exact location of the incident or whether any other factors, such as speed or impairment, are being examined as part of the inquiry. Officers are expected to appeal to any members of the public who may have witnessed the collision or who have relevant information to come forward and assist with the investigation.

The incident marks the latest in a series of road traffic collisions on Bermuda's roads this year, with police repeatedly urging motorists to exercise caution, particularly during evening hours when visibility is reduced. Road safety advocates have also renewed calls for greater vigilance from both drivers and pedestrians.

Anyone with information about the collision is encouraged to contact the Bermuda Police Service or the confidential Crime Stoppers hotline. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses and the condition of the injured pedestrian becomes clearer.
