Brac man critically injured in weekend crash
(CNS): A young man from Cayman Brac was transported to Grand Cayman by the police helicopter for treatment following a single-vehicle crash early Saturday morning on Dennis Foster Road, at the top of Sandpiper Drive. The police said that just after 6am on 29 January, police and other emergency services responded to a 911 call about the accident.
The dark blue Honda car had overturned after flipping over a low wall. The man, who was the lone occupant, was extricated from the vehicle by the Cayman Islands Fire Service and was transported to the hospital by ambulance. Due to the extent of his injuries, the man was later transferred to Grand Cayman by the RCIPS Air Operations Unit, where he remains in hospital in serious but stable condition, police said.
The incident is being investigated jointly by the Cayman Brac Police Officers and the Traffic and Roads Policing Unit. Investigators are encouraging anyone with information to call the Cayman Brac Police Station at 948-0331 or the Traffic and Roads Policing Unit at 649-6254.
Anonymous tips can be provided directly to the RCIPS via the Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777, or the website.

Honda road one minute, off da road the next!
From my observations, you can have serious accidents every day of the year, and it still doesn’t make idiots think twice about their own shortcomings as a driver.
😱😥 🙏🏼🙏🏼
One weekend there isn’t going to be a Honda upside down in a ditch or wrapped round a utility pole! Now that will be news.
If you had a heart, you would realize that most of the comments are not only unnecessary, but can also be EXTREMELY painful to a family who is already in great distress. Each of us have our day of suffering coming. When yours comes, do you want people who always have to voice their opinions driving a knife into your heart, twisting it this way and that way, and increasing your suffering even more? We all need to stop and think before we speak. We don’t always need to be voicing our judgments upon others. Why not treat others as you would like to be treated?
My prayers are with the young man and his family. We don’t help others by criticizing, but by giving love. May God help us all.
I don’t think on this occasion any of the comments are unnecessary.
As sad as it is that this chap is in such a vulnerable condition right now, there are easy conclusions to draw based on a pattern of history here.
12:45pm How would you feel if he had hit another person and killed or maimed that person? What’s the reason for all the speed? The popular Cayman idea of being sorry for the one who does wrong whether it is stealing, speeding or DUI. Unfortunately actions have consequences.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Glad to hear he is likely to recover, but is there any country in the world that has more single vehicle crashes per capita?. In this case it was a Caymanian, but a very large number of drivers involved in these incidents are imported along with their reckless driving habits.
Correction. Imported with no driving experience or black market driver licenses. Then they go though a simple process to gain there license here. If you fail the drivers exam in Cayman you can pay another $25 and take it on the spot, directly, over and over till you pass.
“black market drivers licenses” pfffft. What a crock of shit. Doesn’t happen. What does happen is people being passed who have no real understanding of how to drive a car.
They get the “Black Market Driver’s Licenses” in Jamaica and then turn them in here for a Cayman License you dummy.
I don’t know where you get your idea about bad drivers being largely imported from. My observations in traffic court suggest quite the contrary.
He isn’t Caymanian.
Yes he is
How fast was he going?
Very.
Faster than a Caymanian after a Cassava Cake
lmao 4:06
Too.
Praying for the young man to survive.
Everybody presumes it was either speeding, drugs or alcohol that caused this early morning accident. Just saying.
Those presumptions are based on the prevailing driving habits in CI and investigative findings of wrecks in which people are needlessly maimed or killed. Just saying.
And they are presumably 100% correct. It’s no mystery. With generations of lawlessness on the islands, and any prosecutions for breaking the law very unlikely, Caymanians now do it without a second thought.
I’m happy there is one less dangerous speeding car on the roads.
In all fairness to the car it doesn’t go fast unless the driver makes it do so.
2.13pm In all fairness I don’t think this car will be going as fast again.
Solja races are renowned to occur in the Brac.
