BASSETERRE, ST. Kitts, July 20, 2024– The Traffic Department is currently investigating a fatal traffic accident involving a motor scooter and a parked vehicle used by the Police Department, that occurred in the early hours of Saturday, July 13, 2024.
At approximately 12:15 am, motor scooter PA 1982, driven by Mr. Zishawn Farrell of Fig Tree, Sandy Point, was traveling from Sandy Point to Half Way Tree direction, when he collided with the parked police vehicle, motor pick-up R 64, along the Island Main Road in Half Way Tree.
The police vehicle was parked as officers conducted investigations in the vicinity when Mr. Farrell attempted to overtake the parked vehicle and encountered oncoming traffic.
