Driver flees the scene of three-car smash in GT
(CNS): The driver of a silver SUV who ran from the scene of a three-car collision in the centre of George Town on Monday afternoon is believed to have been injured during the crash, police have said. The RCIPS said the SUV was travelling westbound on Shedden Road when it collided with another vehicle near Mary Street. It continued in the same direction, left the roadway and collided with the wall of a store west of Shedden Road and then with another silver SUV that was travelling eastward.
The driver of the first SUV exited the vehicle and fled the scene on foot in the direction of Dr Roy’s Drive. Police said that based on the damage to the vehicle, the driver is believed to have been injured.
No one else was injured, police said. Part of Shedden Road was closed for a short time after the collision.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the smash or anyone who may have seen the driver fleeing the scene to call 949-4222.

No traffic enforcement = no compliance. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Wait. I was told that the new police commissioner would improve the services.
I wish whoever puts out these bulletins would try to ask a native where locations are. This was nowhere near Mary St.
I’m shocked. LOL.
No license? No insurance? No registration?
A combination of these?
Enquiring minds want to know.
People drive like this here because they can.
You see that yellow pickup truck on CMR with the upside number plate? It’s been like that since at least April 2023. So, in at least 9 months, not one police vehicle has had reason to stop it. If it’s been ‘inspected’, it wasn’t picked up on.
Inspected? Oh my aching sides. When I lived on Cayman, I told a mechanic at a well known garage VERY close to the airport runway my car needed an inspection and hey presto I had the certificate within a day. How he managed to inspect my car while it was outside my house the whole time remains a mystery. Don’t ask, don’t tell.
The entire inspection nonsense is a scam. But while there are easy backhanders and kickbacks to be made, no-one will care. Cayman is corrupt to the core.
Which garage is this? So that I can avoid it.
The other day I saw a car heading west on Shamrock Road just past Bodden Town. As it reached the turnoff for Northward Road it indicated right. There was a car exiting from Northward to turn right onto Shamrock. The first car turns off Shamrock and enters on the wrong side of the road, in doing so not turning in front of the car waiting. Absolutely ridiculously stupid, lazy driving.
Too many people here have no idea that driving is a privilege and not a right.
RCIPS, get a grip on these morons and start by having all your drivers do basic training if necessary.
At least they indicated. Baby steps.
The police could buy a fleet of Aston Martens if they patrolled areas like this and actually enforced the laws.
Is that driven by the Dutch James Bond?
Jan Boond???
The best is the amount of cars/trucks with no break light.
Brake light, but point taken.
Dump trucks with no license plate? check
Landscape pickups and illegal trailers? check
Numerous cars with no front plate? check
Cars being driven with dazzling fog lights on, cos duh, fog? check
and so on…
Saw a SUV/ pickup going down Marina Drive a few nights ago .. the moron owner had installed super bright headlights AND a floodlight bar across the top of the windscreen, totally and utterly blinding every car driving in the opposite direction. I had to pull over for any half a minute to clear my vision so I could continue in my way! Who is the effing moron driving this car and how is it allowed to drive around with these blinding lights on???
I know what you mean but it is a BRAKE light.
Third world driver = third world driving
It used to be that these type of accidents happened between midnight and 5 am.
Now they are happening 24/7.
Every time I am on the road I see ridiculous driving behavior.
Some of it is just carelessness, but other times it is people being aggressive and not giving a damn about themselves or anyone else.
At least those of us who live here know to be prepared for it.
I feel sorry for the visitors who rent cars as they would not always be prepared for someone pulling right out in front of them, overtaking at high speed on a bend, weaving in and out of lanes on Esterly Tibbetts, tailgating, driving at night without lights, etc.
The lack of caring by drivers, and the amount of collisions, is unbelievable.
Have you ever driven in Miami? By sounds of it, I don’t think so.
Is that your best argument? It’s worse somewhere else.
Always somewhere else that’s worse, why don’t we stop looking outward to try to play down the very real and tangible issues here.
The standard here is absolutely woeful, inept and completely a majority are hugely disrespectful to other road users.
The standard of driving in Miami is very poor. Florida generally. As a general rule, the further North you go the better it gets. The same is true in Europe. It’s evidenced by ksi stats too. The standard of driving in Cayman is the worst I’ve experienced anywhere in the world. The fact that we don’t have a proper driving test and accept licences no one else does would be an obvious place to start.
Proper testing and licensing won’t change the driving culture in the least.
Robust enforcement can, but it isn’t done.
Pass the rum.
