Two men were charged on suspicion of impaired driving after a late-night crash.

An auxiliary cycle and car were travelling in opposite direction when they collided on the Swing Bridge, St George’s, shortly before midnight on Saturday.

A police spokesman said the 18-year-old cycle rider, who was heading towards St George’s, suffered foot, leg and suspected head injuries after his helmet came off.

He was taken by ambulance to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for treatment. His injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.

The 30-year-old driver of the car was unhurt.

The Swing Bridge was closed as a police processed the scene.

Anyone with information should call 211 or 295-0011.
