(CNS) UPDATED 25 MARCH: The 44-year-old man who was killed around 10 minutes after midnight Monday morning after losing control of the black Ducati motorcycle he was riding has been identified as Mario Spirto, an Italian national living in Cayman. The single-vehicle crash happened as he was travelling east on the Hurley Merren Blvd between the Red Bay and Chrissy Tomlinson roundabouts close to the Barcam Esso.
When the police and emergency services arrived Spirto was unresponsive.
He was taken to the Cayman Islands Hospital immediately but was pronounced dead by an attending doctor when he arrived. He is the third person to lose his life on local roads so far this year and the second motorbike rider. All of the fatal crashes happened this month.
The matter is under investigation by the Traffic and Roads Policing Unit, but the east bound lanes on Hurley Merren have been re-opened to the public.

He was a good friend of mine, a very nice and easy person to deal with, I’ve seen him Saturday and never even knew that it would be the last time that i would have seen him, please cherish you’re friends because you don’t know when it will be yours or there last, he was actually my co-worker, we always make fun of each other, he’s a very nice person
So sad yet again. Condolences to his family – stay strong🙏
Condolences go out to the family of the deceased. Let’s hope that one of the takeaways from this tragic incident is an understanding of how dangerous the roads can be and how important it is to be as careful as possible on the roads.
My condolences to his family..
Very sad news…. and so unnecessary. With all the chaos going on in our lives right now, the last thing we need in Cayman is more road accidents. The majority of these are avoidable. I hope that all drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians will take more care on our roads and appreciate how precious each life is. Keep safe Cayman!
