POLICE PROVIDE UPDATE ON PARES MAIN ROAD TRAFFIC COLLISION<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. John\u2019s, Antigua and Barbuda, Tuesday April 7,2026<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The police are continuing investigations into the traffic collision that occurred along Pares Main Road involving a white Toyota Hiace motor van and a white Honda Accord motor car on Easter Monday, April 6.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The allegations are that the driver of the Honda Accord was travelling from East to West at a high rate of speed and overtook a line of traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the manoeuvre, the vehicle collided with the Toyota Hiace, which was travelling in the opposite direction.
As a result of the impact, four individuals, including a minor, sustained injuries and were transported to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre by Emergency Medical Services personnel.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

All individuals involved in the accident remain hospitalized with multiple injuries that are considered serious. However, the minor, a 63-year-old male, and an 18-year-old male are reported to be in stable condition. Doctors are continuing efforts to stabilize the driver of the car. Both vehicles were extensively damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Police Administration is reminding all motorists to exercise caution while using the nation\u2019s roads and to avoid dangerous driving practices that may endanger lives.
