“Police were called to an area between miles thirty-four and thirty-five on the Hummingbird Highway where upon arrival they observed a motorcycle on the side of the highway when heading north and they observed a male person motionless who was identified as twenty-five-year-old Alwin Cayetano who was the driver. He was accompanied by Tyrique Lopez, twenty-one-year-old, who was the pillion rider or his passenger. What the police gather is that they were north bound when the driver seemingly lost control around a curve and crashed into a sign that was on the right hand side of the highway causing his death. They, apparently, were travelling with others on separate motorcycles. The police are investigating this matter.”
