Police have arrested a 25-year-old woman, of Bodden Town, on suspicion of DUI and careless driving following a two-car collision on the Esterley Tibbetts Highway which temporarily closed the road on Wednesday night.
The crash, between a Toyota Mark X and a Honda Accord, occurred just after 7:35pm on Wednesday.
The Toyota was carrying four occupants, all of whom were transported by ambulance to the Cayman Islands Hospital following the crash. Police said none of them appeared to have life-threatening injuries, and they were all later discharged.
Two people were travelling in the Honda, including the woman who was later arrested.
Police said that, after the collision, the Honda driver was taken to the Cayman Islands Detention Centre where a breath test was administered, which showed a reading of 0.184%.
The legal drink-drive limit in Cayman is 0.1%, meaning the driver appeared to be almost twice the legal limit.
The Cayman Islands government is proposing to lower the legal limit to 0.07%.
Police said both vehicles were extensively damaged in Wednesday night’s crash.
The road was partially closed while investigators and officers from the Cayman Islands Fire Service cleared the roadway.
