Four adults have been injured following an accident in Picard, Portsmouth in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Two men have been arrested in connection with the accident.

Police PRO, Inspector, Pellam Jno Baptiste said that two motor vehicles were involved in a collision on the Edward Oliver Leblanc Highway in the vicinity of Superwoods in Picard at around 1:00 am.

The vehicles involved were a Mitsubishi Pajero, registration number TJ617 owned by a Canadian citizen residing at Woodford Hill, which was reported stolen, and a Toyota RAV-4, registration number TL 541, driven by Telford Thomas of Woodford Hill with three other female occupants from Bense.

The occupants of the RAV-4 sustained serious injuries and were transported to the Accident and Emergency Department of the P.M.H. where they were admitted and medical care was administered.

As a result of the accident, two 19-year-old males residing in Savanne Paille have been taken into police custody on suspicion of vehicular theft (taking conveyance) and matters relating to the collision.

Investigations are ongoing, Jno Baptiste said.

      Not smart. You should have addressed the issue of the stolen vehicle which must have caused this accident.

    So these young men left savanne pille and went all the way to Woodfordhill and stole a jeep and had an incident in picard??? But who is the person at Dno that just makes up news out of thin air?? The Canadian citizen is living in savanne pille and doesn’t even know where Woodfordhill is!
    M. BUT.

      My friend, there is a savanne paille just before toucarie and there is also a savanne paille in Calibishe/woodfordhill area so just relax…. could be a simple mistake.

        Residing abroad, I did not know where Savanne Paille is. Some of us do not know. We were not familiar with this name. Same as Silver Lake.
        We do know about Woodford Hill and where it is located.
        We are learning those other names from DNO. Thanks DNO! : :lol:

      Can you be a little more positive?

      Do you people always need to lean on politics for every f******* thing?

      Is that. Why u are so rotten? Because you are a Dominican. As ur mentor Matt always said “itvis better to be thought of as a fool and open your mouth and remove all doubt. Think before u speak so you can reason better.

      When you make such a comment, think of yourself, your ancestors past and present and others you know who are alive.
      You must be careful what you state for if you look into your conscience, you will realize you are no innocent person. So be careful of stones that you throw. Cease judging lest you be judged two-fold! When will some of you learn that? Furthermore, making a hateful remark do not help D/ca. nor enhance it. It also does not make an interesting and enlightenment comment.
      Try being kind from now on. You will be happy and peaceful for it; making yourself likewise.
      In addition, your comment has absolutely nothing to do with theft of a vehicle. No one sent them to steal. They did this of their own volition. Stick to the topic. Do not deviate from it.

    Correction Mr PRO.
    I think you may have been misinformed.
    The occupants of the Toyota Rav-4 were transported to PMH not of the stolen Mitsubishi Pajero.

      You need to put on glasses and read again.

    • January 10, 2017

      If you read properly, they never said the Mitsubishi occupants were being taken to the hospital. They said the RAV- 4. Please read and understand before making such comment.

      You must have been reading in the reverse. This is what I read in the news bulletin from DNO

      “The occupants of the RAV-4 sustained serious injuries and were transported to the Accident and Emergency Department of the P.M.H. where they were admitted and medical care was administered.”

      Where did DNO get it wrong according to you?
