Casualty hospitalised after wet weather crash

Monday 04 September 2017

The Fire Service were called out to several road traffic collisions (RTCs) due to the wet weather, including one this morning in Trinity where someone was taken to hospital.

The collision, which involved three vehicles, took place outside the Costcutter on La Route de la Trinité.

When the Fire Service arrived, a 22-year-old woman was still inside one of the cars suffering with chest and mouth pain. With the assistance of paramedics, she was able to exit the vehicle and was taken to hospital for checks. Express has learned that the injured woman was treated at the Emergency Department and has since been discharged.

The wet weather has seemingly been at fault for two other car crashes over the weekend.

Fortunately, no one was harmed in these two incidents, but the Fire Service has urged islanders to “drive appropriately for these wet conditions” as well as making sure to “allow enough time for your journey to arrive safely.”
