Jamaican national Teron Anthony Johnson, 22, has been identified as the victim in Thursday morning’s fatal collision in Bodden Town.
Police confirmed the victim’s identity to the Cayman Compass on Friday afternoon via email, as investigations continue into the deadly crash.
Johnson’s death was the second fatality in two days in the Cayman Islands, following that of Mexican chef Dulce Rodriguez, 30, in Cayman Brac on Wednesday.
The Bodden Town collision happened shortly before 2:30am on Thursday, 21 March, in the vicinity of the junction of Bodden Town Road and Anton Bodden Drive, police said.
Officers and other emergency services responded to the report of a collision.
Initial investigations indicated that the vehicle was travelling west along Bodden Town Road, when it left the roadway and collided with a tree.
Police said the man sustained serious injuries and was transferred to the Cayman Islands Hospital by ambulance.
He subsequently succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead by the attending doctor.
Meanwhile, investigations are continuing into the Cayman Brac collision in which Rodriguez was killed.
Police arrived on the scene of the crash at around 7:15am Wednesday. Initial investigations indicated the driver died in a single-vehicle collision in the early hours of that morning.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
