A motorcyclist was taken for medical treatment following an accident at Searles, Christ Church, which also involved two other vehicles.

A driver, who was indirectly involved in the accident, said she was on the way to work behind the other vehicle in the collision. Both had the indicator lights on to enter Searles plantation yard where a number of businesses are located, when the motor cycle came down the road.

“The vehicle in front of me proceeded to turn and the next thing I heard was a collision. I did not see because I closed my eyes and then I heard an impact on my vehicle,” she told Nation News, adding she was stationary.

She exited her car to find the motorcyclist at the rear of her vehicle and surmised the impact from the collision sent both cycle and rider into the air.  The front of her vehicle was damaged by the cycle.

Police were on the scene conducting investigations. (SAT)
