A motorcyclist and a driver died in separate incidents in the space of a few hours overnight on Sunday and into Monday morning.
In one of the fatal crashes, a 31-year-old man died and three others were injured, one seriously, after a crash on Shamrock Road in Savannah.
The Honda Fit left the road near Cool Springs Road in Savannah at about 1:30am on Monday and crashed into trees.
Police said one passenger was “critical” in hospital and the other two were being treated for what were said to be minor injuries.
The crash came just hours after a motorcyclist crashed and died on the Linford Pierson Highway in George Town.
Police said the rider appeared to have lost control around 11pm and crashed into trees and bushes at the roadside.
The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene by a doctor.
No other vehicles were involved in either incident and police have not yet released details of the two victims.
The two fatalities bring the death toll on Cayman’s roads so far this year to three.
Shamrock Road was closed between Spotts Newlands Road and Hirst Road while police examined the scene.
Road users were diverted along Hirst Road and Rex Crighton Boulevard.
Police investigations into both incidents continue.
The deaths happened just before government launched the second phase of its road safety campaign, which started two years ago.

You have not indicated what the latest death toll is now for this year. We have had many road deaths and speed seems to be the common denominator.How many more will it take before the police crack down on all these speed maniacs and stop this carnage. The police traffic dept. was cut down to I believe less than half a dozen officers. TThe Commisioner has to act now and prosecute drivers who every day drive way of the speed limit with impunity.
It is actually in the article. “The two fatalities bring the death toll on Cayman’s roads so far this year to three.”
The police don’t care if people speed or drink and drive. They are never pulling people over. Not enough.
Nothing good happens at night. Especially on Cayman roads. It’s clear people can’t drive.
So sorry for this loss of life.
How many times has a motorbike rider gone roaring past you, often with the muffler removed to make it louder? There’s a reason they are called “organ donors” by doctors.
Honda Fits also are driven badly and often at speed.
Sadly these crashes usually happen in the wee hours. Yet we hardly ever see police on the road. Even during the day.
