A MOTORCYCLE cop knocked down and injured a 43-year-old Arima woman on the Priority Bus Route in St Augustine yesterday.

Listed in a serious condition at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex (EWMSC) in Mt Hope is Camilla Douglas, of Tumpuna Road in Arima.

According to police reports, Douglas was attempting to cross the Priority Bus Route near the UWI Villas, when she was struck by the motorcycle, which was being ridden by PC James, of the Court and Process Branch, around 11.30 a.m.

Douglas had stepped out from behind a maxi-taxi that had stopped to off-load passengers, when James, who was heading East along the PBR, ran into her, police reports said.

James fell from the motorcycle and received minor injuries, while Douglas was knocked unconscious and sustained broken bones in both of her legs.
