For the Grevers family from Deerfield, Illinois, their Bahamian vacation hit an unexpected bump in the road following a motor-cycle accident yesterday.<\/P><\/p>\n
The family was out sightseeing when 18-year-old Michael Grevers and his sister Nicole toppled off the scooter they were riding.<\/P><\/p>\n
The pair said they slipped on a oil slick that covered a large section of Shirley Street just in front of The Tribune’s office.<\/P><\/p>\n
The rest of the family riding on two other bikes saw the fall and were able to stop and jump off their bikes.<\/P><\/p>\n
Although Nicole escaped with minor bruises to her legs, her brother was not as lucky.<\/P><\/p>\n
When paramedics from MediVac arrived at the scene, a preliminary examination suggested that Michael, who lay in obvious pain on the sidewalk, may have suffered a dislocated knee.<\/P><\/p>\n
Nicole told The Tribune that her family had three days left in their two-week Christmas vacation and were staying at the SunSpree Hotel on Paradise Island.<\/P><\/p>\n
She said that she, Michael and their parents, Jan and Beatrice, and brother Daniel had had a wonderful time, particularly at the Boxing Day Junkanoo parade, which she described as incredible.<\/P><\/p>\n
Nicole took the whole accident in her stride; saying that during every vacation her family has taken they have had to go to a doctor or a hospital.<\/P><\/p>\n
Her father, however, was a bit more upset that such a large spill was not cleaned up. He said a passing motorist had told him that, prior to his family’s incident, another cyclist had also fallen.<\/P><\/p>\n
However, he said he doubted that the incident would dampen his family’s visit.<\/P><\/p>\n
Police officers were on hand to divert traffic, call for an ambulance and alert the hotel to collect the bikes, while the family rushed to the hospital.<\/P><\/p>\n
