Overturned truck closes Rum Point Road
(CNS): Police closed Rum Point Road in North Side near the Cayman Kai Public Beach on Monday morning after a truck veered off the road and overturned. While the driver was taken to hospital to be checked out, emergency services worked to remove the dump truck but had to close the road. With no alternative routes, drivers were asked to avoid that area until the truck was retrieved and the police issued an apology to motorists. The man was uninjured in the collision but it is not yet clear how the truck came off the road. No other vehicles were involved

Excessive speed! And Police rarely see anything? Of course their driving is often a poor example too, especially where using signals are concerned.
Plenty lean precariously when just driving on a straight road, due to overloading and shot suspension.
The driving on this island is abysmal, with truck drivers amongst the worse offenders.
Honda drivers are by far the most incompetent and aggressive drivers on island! If truck drivers were as useless as Honda drivers it would be carnage out there!
Everyday loaded dump trucks can be seen hurtling along Cayman roads and leaning precariously on roundabouts. The drivers simply do not respect newtons motion laws. Deaths have occurred with reckless dump truck driving and one would think this would lead to some sensible restrictions like limiting speed to 30MPH as in other countries.
Many dump trucks are driving that road at 50+ miles per hour in a 30 MPH zone.
Last week a governmental dump truck pushed me off the road. Jamaican driver as usual.
Sick of them.
Did you see his birth certificate????
Yes. He was wearing a jam flag hat.
Are you sure that making ganja o.k. for truck drivers and other vehicles won’t cause more accidents? You know what I mean, Butterbean.
Who said ganja was going to be allowed to drivers? Alcohol isn’t allowed either. You’re stretching bobo.
Nice try. If you were there you would have seen is was not a dump truck.
Driving too fast. Dump trucks always go al least 10mph over the speed limit.
