One lane open on Rock Road, Cayman Brac

(CNS): Update Wednesday 10:18am – Rock Road remains partially blocked, with traffic able to use one lane in the area where an accident took place on Cayman Brac Monday. Three officers from the RCIPS Traffic Management Unit on Grand Cayman are on the island to investigate the single vehicle accident in which a woman, who was the passenger on a motorcycle, suffered serious head injury and was transported to the George Town hospital Monday night, 21 March. The bike she was on apparently skidded on some oil and crashed on Rock Road close to Horizon Building Supplies on the north side of the island at around 7pm that night.

The male rider of the bike was treated at Faith Hospital for shoulder and leg injuries and has since been released.

The section of the road where the accident happened, the only road on the north side of the Bluff, was closed all day yesterday and a police spokesperson said they are unable to say when it will reopen to the public. She said the officers needed to do a thorough investigation, which included a reconstruction, due to the seriousness of the incident.

"We would ask road users to be patient and we hope that they understand the need to take the action," she said.

Any witnesses to the collision should contact PC Stacy Stewart on 946-6254 or Cayman Brac police station on 948-0331.
