And, in the other incident three people including two children, were injured following a motor vehicle collision along the Rio Nuevo Main Road in the vicinity of the Rubis Service Station on Friday, May 22, 2026.
The collision occurred shortly after midday and involved a motor truck and a motor car. The police say preliminary reports indicate that the occupants of the motor car sustained injuries during the incident and were transported to the hospital for medical treatment.

Investigations into the circumstances surrounding both collisions are ongoing.
Road users are being encouraged to practise defensive driving, obey speed limits, wear seat belts, avoid distractions while driving, and ensure that children are properly secured in vehicles.
“We want persons to realise that even where speed is not the direct cause of a crash, it significantly increases the force of impact and the likelihood of serious injury or loss of life when collisions occur.”
