A male visitor to the country lost his life in a traffic accident on Sunday.  The deceased was a passenger in an all terrain vehicle when it overturned and he was ejected to the street.

Assistant Superintendent of Police in the Traffic Division, Demetria Capron was on the scene where she provided details of the incident.  “Preliminary reports indicate that sometime around 11am, this morning, Sunday 20th October, 2024 a green rental Ranger 4×4 ATR vehicle was at the rear of the Arawak Cay near the port when the driver began to reverse.  The vehicle then overturned on its side causing injury to a front seat passenger who had fell out the side of the vehicle. EMS would have visited the scene where the front seat passenger would have succumbed to his injuries on the scene.”

Capron appealed to the motoring public to drive with due care and attention.  She said, “our message remains the same to please slow down, wear your seatbelt, wear your helmets. One live lost is simply one too many in a fatal car crash.”

This was the second traffic fatality on West Bay Street this weekend.  A female driver also lost her life when she lost control of her car near Western Esplanade.
