A man who sustained a serious head injury in a car crash in St Ouen yesterday evening remains in a critical condition.

Police said that the 50-year-old was suspected to have been heading westbound along La Route De Millais in a blue Toyota IQ when the vehicle collided with a granite wall, sustaining significant damage and flipping onto its side.

States and honorary police and the Fire and Ambulance Services attended the incident, which reportedly took place around 17:20 on Tuesday.

The man, who was the Toyota’s sole occupant, was cut from the vehicle by firefighters before being taken to hospital.

In an appeal for witnesses, police said he sustained a “serious head injury” and “remains in a critical condition”.

“The driver’s family are aware,” the appeal continued.

“Police collision experts attended the scene to assist in determining the cause of the collision. The road was closed for about five hours and reopened just after 23:00 hours.

“Officers are keen to speak with anyone who may have been travelling in the area before, during, or immediately after the collision, and who may have seen the vehicle involved, the collision, or anything that could assist the investigation.”

Anyone who might have any footage or information is being asked to contact the force on 612612, or to report anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their online form.
