The 49-year-old woman who was riding the red Yamaha moped was reportedly engaged in an accident and taken to the hospital to receive treatment for what are thought to be minor injuries. Since then, she has been let go.
The woman’s moped is said to have been stolen after the crash.
Officers carried out extensive enquiries, but no suspect has been identified. The investigation has been filed pending further information coming to light.
“My friend was travelling with her budgies, secured safely in the box in transit carriers (which they are used to and happy in, they go everywhere with her), and came off the bike,” the woman’s companion told the Free Press. After the mishap, paramedics examined the birds and made sure they were secure in their carriers and safe. They left the birds in the bike on the side of the road and hurried her to the hospital!
They refused to give her the opportunity to call someone to come retrieve the birds and insisted on sending her to the hospital in spite of her objections. She released herself as soon as she could and returned to the address that she was given by the paramedics as to where they had left the birds.
“Everything on the bike—even the birds inside—has been taken!”
