Police are investigating a road fatality, which occurred around 4:05 p.m. today, along the Barrow Section of the ABC Highway, between the Norman Niles and Clyde Walcott roundabouts.

It involved a van and two motorcycles, and resulted in the death of Damien Jason Anton Taylor, 35, of #34 Durants, Christ Church.

The van was being driven by Stirling Workman, 35, of Oxnards, St James, while the second motorcycle was being ridden by David Haynes, 36, of West Terrace, St James.  

Preliminary investigations revealed that Taylor and Haynes were riding along the Barrow Section of the highway when their motorcycles became involved in a collision with the van, causing them both to lose control.

Taylor collided with the jersey barriers and as a result died at the scene. Haynes complained of discomfort about the body and opted to seek private medical attention.

Investigations are continuing. Anyone who may have witnessed this accident is being asked to contact the District ‘A’ Police Station at 430-7242. (PR)
