Bodden Town East MP Dwayne Seymour escaped serious injury on Friday night when the car he was driving crashed into a CUC pole.

“God’s angels had me,” Seymour, speaking with the Cayman Compass on Monday, said.

The parliamentary secretary said he was doing all right following the crash.

“[I] was just tired… [I] left my office late,” he explained via WhatsApp, adding he will adjust his schedule as he has been “working too hard”.

Seymour, who lives in Bodden Town, said he has been talking about traffic in the eastern districts and its impact on everyone who has been getting up early and working later being “more prone to a tired nature and accidents”.

Police, in a short statement on the crash Monday, said the incident happened just after 10:30pm Friday, 28 Oct. on Hurley Merren Boulevard in George Town.

Seymour’s car was the only vehicle involved in the incident.

The airbags in the car deployed on impact.

Seymour said the police were called right after the crash and he stayed until a tow truck removed the car.

Premier Wayne Panton also came to the scene of the crash on Friday night.

Police said the collision involved material damages only with no injuries.

“There was no suspicion that the driver of the vehicle was intoxicated therefore no arrests were made,” the RCIPS told the Compass following queries Monday.
