After about a month without any significant rainfall, showers hit the Island this weekend and Monday morning making roads slippery.
In the first incident, at 6.24 am, a black Ford Ka, heading westbound on Route de La Haule, near Bel Royal Garage, collided with a wall and a grey Ford Transit. The 55-year-old male van driver spent 20 minutes in hospital being checked over and the 50-year-old woman driving the Ka was also taken to hospital and released two hours later.
Less than an hour later, a 59-year-old man on a white Yamaha scooter, crashed after braking sharply at the zebra crossing at Five Oaks. The incident took place at a slow speed and the rider was not taken to hospital.
At around the same time, officers were also dispatched to two other incidents. The first took place at 8 am on Victoria Avenue at the junction with Rue du Galet and involved a silver Mercedes SUV, driven by a 39-year-old woman, and a white DAF truck, driven by a 49-year-old man. Neither driver was injured.
And at 8.12 am, traffic began to back up on Beaumont Hill after a 41-year-old woman came off her motorcycle. She was treated at the scene by paramedics.
Meanwhile, at 12.26 pm, a large section of Mont Félard was closed following an incident involving a cyclist and a 24-year-old man driving a blue Saab. The 57-year-old cyclist was taken to the hospital and remained there yesterday afternoon.
Anyone with any information regarding any of the incidents is asked to contact the States police on 612612 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
