Police say they are investigating reports that the person involved in Saturday’s fatal car crash might have been the victim of a stabbing minutes before his vehicle hit a wall.
In a brief statement issued to the Compass, a RCIPS spokesperson said, “Police are investigating information regarding a possible altercation that may have taken place immediately before the collision took place.”
The statement added, “The Criminal Investigations Department and Traffic and Roads Policing Unit are working jointly on this on-going matter and no further details can be provided at this stage in the investigation.”
The single-vehicle crash occurred shortly before 1:30pm on Saturday 26 Feb., along Mangrove Avenue in Prospect.
Police say the unresponsive male driver, who is believed to have been the only person in the vehicle, had to be extricated from the car by the Fire Service.
The victim’s identity has not been released.
This is the second fatal accident of 2022. In January, Courtney Oniel Bennett of Bodden Town died after the car he was travelling in left the roadway and hit a concrete sculpture at the centre of the Cost-U-Less roundabout.
