A multi‑vehicle collision on the road linking Somerset to the Hamilton area left traffic stalled and a handful of residents injured on Thursday morning. The crash, which involved a private car, a delivery van and a motorcycle, took place just north of Somerset Bridge, a key artery that sees heavy commuter and tourist traffic between the north‑side suburbs and downtown Hamilton.

Emergency services were dispatched within minutes. The private vehicle’s driver, a local family man, suffered a broken wrist, while the delivery van driver sustained a concussion. The motorcyclist, a tourist from Miami, was treated for a fractured collarbone before being transferred to the North Devonshire Hospital for further care. All three vehicles were removed from the roadway by the evening, and the stretch of road was closed for several hours to allow for a full safety inspection.

Police investigators are examining the scene for indications of speeding or impaired driving. The incident has prompted the Bermuda Police Service to remind residents and visitors alike to observe speed limits and maintain safe following distances, especially on the narrower sections of the road that pass under Somerset Bridge.

The local council is monitoring the situation and will issue a traffic advisory if any congestion remains. Residents are encouraged to check the BermudaObserver website and the Police Service Twitter feed for real‑time updates.
