She was trapped in the badly damaged car and sustained much injury. It reportedly took the Emergency Services over two hours to cut through the wreckage to free her, following which she was taken to and admitted at the Princess Alexandra Hospital.
This accident adds to a continuing spate of serious and minor incidents which are occurring on the island’s roads. The police are endeavouring to control the situation through stepped up patrols and a recently-introduced public safety campaign involving advertisements in the print media as well as on the radio and the erection of posters at key locations on the island.
