Monday 26 October 2015

Three cyclists were taken to hospital with serious multiple injuries after a crash involving two cars yesterday morning.

Bystanders had to help one of the riders who was trapped underneath a car at the scene before rescue crews arrived.

The accident took place just before 9 am on St Saviour’s Hill, between the parish church and the junction with Langley Avenue.

A 29-year-old woman and a 26-year-old woman were treated in the Emergency department and are still being treated this morning - a 28-year-old man was discharged yesterday afternoon after being treated in the Casualty department.

The road was closed for most of yesterday morning while police accident investigators examined the scene.

A statement from the Jersey Fire and Rescue Service said that the initial call to the emergency services said that one person was trapped underneath a car.

They said: “The incident, which happened near the junction with Langley Avenue, involved two vehicles and three cyclists.

“Three ambulances, a Fire Tender and Fire Rescue Unit were mobilised to the scene. Prior to their arrival the cyclist that had been trapped under the vehicle had been released by members of the public but all three cyclists had suffered serious multiple injuries and were treated on scene before being taken to the General Hospital.”
