Oct 15 RGP - Accident Witness Appeal
On Friday 11 October 2013 between 1820hrs and 1830hrs there was a fatal road traffic accident at Europa Advance Road involving the rider of a motorcycle namely a white in colour Yamaha X-Max. There were two other motorcyclists on their own motorcycles one was ahead of the Yamaha X-Max and the other behind. The three motorcycles were travelling in a direction towards Europa Point. They had just exited the Dudley Ward Way Tunnel and they were travelling at speed.
The collision happened just by the entrance to the Community Projects Buildings and the deceased namely Gareth John Collado crashed against some barriers in that location, receiving injuries to his head and neck. He was conveyed to St Bernard’s Hospital where despite treatment he passed away.

Whilst welcoming that part of the Chief Minister’s intervention in the US dealing with the 2006 Constitution and the Cordoba Agreement, the GSD questions the appropriateness of his far too generalised and indiscriminate comments regarding the campaign of hatred against the people of Gibraltar, only weeks before he is to hold talks with the Spanish Government.
