Barbados has recorded its third road fatality and second hit and run in three days.
The deceased has been identified as 75 year old Ainsley Bradshaw of Kings Court, Lodge Road, Christ Church, who is the victim in the 6th fatal road traffic collision of 2024.
The police say officers from the Oistins station were summoned to the scene of a road traffic collision, which occurred at Lodge Road, Christ Church about 9:15 last night.
It involved a pedestrian who was struck by a motor vehicle while he was walking along Lodge Road. The vehicle fled the scene, and the driver and vehicle are unknown at this stage.
The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene by a medical doctor.
The police are appealing to the public for information about the vehicle and the driver involved.
This follows another hit and run in the early hours of Saturday morning in which a pedestrian was struck and killed at Long Bay main road in St. Philip.
Meantime, just past midnight yesterday, a passenger in a car died when he was thrown from a vehicle that ran off the road and crashed at the Balls Road, Christ Church junction of the ABC Highway.
