The 50-year-old of Montrose Gardens in the same parish, was in a vehicle that ran off the road way and struck a wall of rock about 200 metres west of the Adams Roundabout.

Police say they received the call around 1:55 p.m. and were informed that the driver was not responding.  He was later pronounced dead at the scene by a medical doctor.

The front and left side of the ZM van had significant damage and 11 personnel from the Barbados Fire Service responded to extricate the driver.
