MOTORISTS WERE FORCED to use alternative roads yesterday when an accident along busy Waterford, St Michael, left that stretch impassable.
However, the three people involved in the collision around 11:15 a.m. between a car and a sports utility vehicle (SUV) escaped major injury.
The driver of the car, Vanessa Bowen, 40, of No. 5 Hillside Terrace, Gall Hill, Christ Church, and her mother Audrey Chase, 56, of Deighton Road, St Michael, complained of back pain and were taken to hospital by ambulance.
The driver of the SUV was Tyrone Small, 30, of No. 3 Venture, St John.
Small’s vehicle and Bowen’s car were involved in the collision at the Waterford junction.
His SUV hit the electricity pole, which snapped in half and fell to the ground, bringing the attached power lines down with it. The vehicle landed on its side.
Officials from Barbados Light & Power arrived at the scene shortly after the collision to assess the damage and begin repairs. (DP)
