Woman killed in early morning crash
(CNS): One woman is dead and four people have been badly injured following an early morning crash in South Sound. The crash, which involved two cars, happened near Palm Springs on the South Sound Road at around 1:00 Sunday morning. Police confirmed that a 32-year-old woman who was driving a Honda Fit was killed in the collision with a Changan CS75 being driven by a 25-year-old man, who has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He and the three others involved in the crash remain at the Cayman Islands Hospital.
The victim is the fifth person to lose their life on the roads in the Cayman Islands so far this year and is just over a week after a driver was killed on Cayman Brac.
The Traffic and Roads Policing Unit is investigating this fatal collision and encourages anyone with information to call 649-6254. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777, or website.

I have been saying for years, the police need to do hidden check stops every Friday night.
Imagine that. One second in this world, consumed with its cares, worries and indeed joys.
The next second, your spirit is leaving your flesh bag flying off to eternity?
It is incredibly difficult for us to conceive.
We prepare a lot for retirement and make plans, but at the end of the day, we will all die.
At that moment, all truth becomes self-evident. We must all be in a state of readiness to stand before the Giver of Life to give account of what we have done with this gift that we seem to take for granted… myself included. I am no holy man, just a pilgrim in this broken, yet delightful experience.
It is how we deal with the brokenness that determines our true identity.
Some become vindictive, bitter, spiteful and judgemental and others seek the answers.
I am still looking for answers, but I believe in Love and Good even though I exist in a world of lies, war, pain, poverty and suffering all caused by selfish, greedy men who seem to be calling the shots.
Your time is nearly up. I cannot wait.
The RCIPS have been told this time and again and they refuse to listen.
Another preventable tragedy in Cayman. Why is it impossible to introduce speed cameras? Ignoring the obvious emotional cost of losing a loved one, the average economic cost of a road death is approx $1.7 million.
Close the roads folks, deadlier than the ‘rona.
There is no need for any vehicle on these islands to have a top speed over over 45 mph. Restricting this and the size of vehicles could eliminate road fatalities.
I jog along S Church St early every morning and as 1.30pm says there are a number of maniacs who are drive at over 60mph. XXXX I have said before we need to install speed cameras (they work after dark) to root out these crazed drivers. Anyone driving over 60mph in a 30mph zone should be subject a large fine along with a mandatory jail sentence.
It’s all so pointless isn’t it.
I hate driving here because of the utter stupidity around me. It’s multiplied by 10 on a night. I mean, people can’t even drive at night without blinding everyone going the other way. To ask them to stop it with the speeding and everything else is just too much.
Speed humps? Target the speeders not everyone please. That would take some kind of functional law enforcement on the road here. Could happen some day. Not in our lifetime so keep dreaming.
RCIPS needs to start monitoring the roads. I see several near misses every single day and at least one crash. And drink-driving is the norm. Start patrolling, start stopping people and start ticketing. Impound the cars that are driving around without insurance or certificates.
I see the police cars on the road daily passing by people who are breaking the laws of the road and they do NOTHING
This was my bigger Cousin that passed she will be very missed❤️ We still don’t know all the details.
Speed bumps on a main road? No. Drivers need to respect the road, conditions & the speed limit.
Implement speed humps on a main road lol #birdbrain I get what you mean though let’s have more traffic cops out in full force…
Police have radar patrol there daily
It would be nice if the police actually returned to the roads and to policing despite the election being over.
South Sound is a death trap 64mph top speed I’ve seen at the speed trap near that dump condo complex aka Vela.
South Sound road has become a race track with a great number people regularly speeding and some at quite ridiculous speeds of 60mph+.
The RCIPS need to target this area and ticket people and the NRA need to implement traffic slowing measures such as speed humps.
We don’t need heads in the sand with this.
We don’t need speed bumps anywhere. That is just a reaction resulting from non-existent traffic law enforcement….unless it is convenient to the “banker’s hours” the RCIPS prefer.
They know the problem areas, but they still studiously avoid them during the hours when plenty of violations occur.
This is at least two deaths in the same vicinity.
They already do, every Wednesday 1-3 pm
I was ovettaken by a dump truck while driving east towards Ocean Club, mid-morning last week. The speed warning screen indicated 69 mph.
I agree except for the speed bump idea. It’d a main road, that would be stupid.
South sound road is a know racing area apparently up till the 90s runners would be ran off the road by street racers nothing new
