The Bermuda Police Service (BPS), was this morning engaged in a joint exercise with the Traffic Control Department (TCD), aimed at getting unlicensed and uninsured vehicles off the road in recognition of significant public concern towards responsible driving and road safety.
However, what would normally have been a simple exercise was unexpectedly and significantly compromised by a road traffic collision in Paget resulting in injury to the road user as well as a Department of Public Transportation bus, stalling at the South Roundabout.
This combination of events resulted in problematic traffic delays for commuters heading east along South Shore Road, Middle Road and Harbour Road.
