Police name woman killed in Cayman Brac crash

(CNS) UPDATED FRIDAY: The RCIPS has confirmed the identity of the woman who died in the fatal collision on Cayman Brac on 20 March. Dulce Elizabeth Rodriguez Rojas (30), a Mexican national living on Cayman Brac, died after a single-vehicle collision on South Side Road, west of the Bluff Road and close to Beach Club, between 2am and 3am on Wednesday. The emergency services were called to the scene around 7.15am Wednesday after a 911 call, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Part of the road was closed while police completed the analysis of the scene with the assistance of the Cayman Islands Fire Service. The victim’s next of kin in Mexico have been informed of the crash and are being assisted by the police, who expressed condolences to her family and friends.

This is the first road fatality in the Cayman Islands for 2024 and some four months since the last person was killed in a collision, which is one of the longest periods for some time in which no lives were lost on the road. In 2023, nine people were killed on the roads, and even as the death toll appears to have slowed this year, serious crashes are still far too common.

Investigators are seeking the assistance of the public in ascertaining the circumstances of this collision. Anyone who may have seen or heard anything is asked to call the Cayman Brac Police Station at 948-033. Anonymous tips can be provided to the RCIPS Confidential Tip Line at 949-7777 or the website.
