Cayman International School elementary physical education teacher Greg Simcoe remains hospitalised after being struck by a vehicle Wednesday night on West Bay Road, near Cemetery Beach.
He’s in critical but stable condition, CIS principal Jim Urquhart told the Cayman Compass.
“He’s a beloved member of the Cayman community and certainly CIS’s community,” Urquhart said. “We definitely wish him a speedy recovery. Personally, I think everyone is looking forward to seeing his smiling face and hearing his voice in our halls soon.”
Urquhart said the school’s counsellors are working with students and faculty members.
The incident was one of 11 traffic collisions on Wednesday, police said. It happened around 6pm near Ernest Jackson Drive, according to a police press release.
A dog Simcoe was walking was killed in the incident.
The driver of the vehicle that struck Simcoe and the dog was uninjured and police say they continue to investigate.
“We are asking motorists to be extra vigilant when travelling on roads, especially at night,” said acting superintendent Brad Ebanks in the release. “Make sure your full attention is on driving at all times.”
“For pedestrians and cyclists, it is important to wear light-coloured clothes, and cyclists should have reflectors and lights affixed to their bicyclers.”
