A policeman was yesterday admitted to hospital after the motor car that he was driving collided with a truck at the intersection of Grants Pen and Shortwood roads in St Andrew yesterday afternoon.

Details as to how the accident occurred could not be ascertained up until Observer press time last night, but alleged eyewitnesses said it was the airbag in the policeman's Mitsubishi Colt that saved him.

"From you look and see the state of the vehicle the policeman was travelling in, you know a lucky him lucky," said a man at the scene.

Yesterday, police on the scene declined to comment about what took place except to say that, "the injured police constable, who is attached to the Constant Spring Police Station, was rushed to hospital while a female is being questioned."

The incident caused a massive traffic pile-up in the area.
