Thorington of Lot 173 Middle Road, La Penitence sustained massive internal injuries including damage to the intestines and numerous broken bones.

His girlfriend, Sydney Azore, who was the pillion rider, remains a patient of the High Dependency Unit of the same medical institution.

Reports are that the motor cyclist saw a car parked across the roadway and from all appearances the driver had exited to open his gate so that he could drive into his yard.
