🚧 Road workers injured in high-speed collision
Two men hospitalized after being hit by a suspected racing car on Linford Pierson Highway
Two road workers engaged in the expansion of the Linford Pierson Highway were rushed to the hospital after being hit by a car. The incident occurred around noon on Tuesday, just days into the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service's (RCIPS) Easter road safety campaign aimed at cracking down on rogue drivers. The police have yet to release details about the collision but confirmed that their officers and other emergency services were promptly on the scene. 🚑
The collision took place on the eastbound lanes, which were subsequently closed for emergency response, potentially exacerbating evening commute congestion. Witnesses and sources who reached out to CNS indicated that the two men, donned in high-visibility shirts, were struck by a car that seemed to be racing with another vehicle just before the incident. The victims are thought to be contractors working for the National Road Authority. The extent of their injuries and any potential arrests made by the RCIPS remain unknown at this time. 🚦
The RCIPS is urging anyone with information about the crash to contact the traffic unit at 948-0331. Anonymous tips can be provided via the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777, the official website, or submitted anonymously to caymancrimestoppers.com or through the app. 📞
