A collision between a motor car and a motor cycle at Irving and Crown Streets, Queenstown, around 19:00hrs last evening left a 17-year-old motor cyclist warded at the Georgetown Public Hospital with a broken leg and injuries to his head.

The motor cyclist, identified as Kevin Panday, of 10 Owen Street, Kitty, was proceeding north along Irving Street when, as he was about to cross Crown Street, his motor cycle collided with a silver grey Toyota motor car driven by a female motorist and heading west into Crown Street.

The woman was unhurt, but both the car and motor cycle were badly damaged.
Public spirited persons in the vicinity intervened, picked up the injured man and rushed him to the GPH. His relatives were alerted and they too rushed down to the scene of the accident. On seeing broken the motor cycle, they feared the worst and headed for the hospital. The police were later called in and proceeded to investigate.
