There was an accident on Faber's Road this weekend. It happened near the Faber's Road Extension Police Substation - around 8 o'clock on Saturday morning. So far we understand a blue car was travelling on the road when the driver lost control, knocked down a man and overturned in an open lot area on the other side of the road. We haven't been able to receive any information from police but we have been able to confirm that the man who was knocked down is Malcolm Burgess. Burgess's left leg and right ankle was broken during the incident and according to neighbors the driver of the vehicle escaped unhurt.

"I was up on my porch trying to clean my bike when I heard tires screeching. And I got up, and when I looked, I saw a vehicle flipping, and it hit a young man. Then I saw it landing in the bushes."

"Was this driver speeding or anything? You noticed anything, or you think that he just may have had some mechanical problems that caused the accident?"

"Well, I think he was speeding because he passed two times. He passed two times and he was going fast."
The driver of the vehicle has since made contact with the family of burgess and say he will be paying his medical bills.
