RCIPS, Cayman News Service

(CNS): There were fewer than 30 minor collisions on Cayman’s roads over the Easter weekend and no major incidents of violent crime, burglaries or theft from campsites, according to the RCIPS. While 27 drivers were ticketed for speeding and another 21 were prosecuted for driving with expired registration or unlicensed vehicles, just five drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.

Police said they were out and about between 7 and 10 April on the roads, as well as visiting various campsites and residential areas. They remained focused on areas that posed the most risk to the public, including visibility along the roads. But all in all, the community enjoyed a peaceful holiday weekend.

“Once again we are thanking the public for being responsible over the course of the Easter Weekend, not only by following the law but also taking the necessary precautions to protect yourselves and your property,” said Superintendent Brad Ebanks. “Last Easter we were pleased that our officers reported very few issues of concern, and we are happy to see that trend continue this year.”

    Honda Accord rolled over on the side of the road in East End between the blow holes and East End. But I guess that’s not serious.

    “…our officers reported very few issues of concern”, because they were not deployed to witness the Sunday high rpm speed trials on the bypass. Audible to everyone within 5-10 mile radius.

      Which road is “the bypass”?

      • Anonymous says:

        Probably the Harquail Bypass, now called Esterley Tibbetts Highway. A 7 mile 2 lane autobahn, where vehicles regularly race every day from 3-6pm and Sundays from noon-7pm. Sunday afternoon is of particular interest for stretched sport bike enthusiasts with specific drag racing extended swing arm modifications.

        West Bay drag races daily from roundabout to roundabout up to ALT, but that stretch to Batabano is FIRE. All racer clases eligible. Subcompacts, luxury suvs and saloons, USA pickups, lorries, motorcross bikes and sport bikes.

        Come one, comr all!

    30 minor collisions is still an insane number! Hardly something to be proud of.

      It is and you’re right, but its the daily norm and people should stop using every excuse to discredit Easter campers every year.
