According to the police, the dead man has been identified as Kanrade Lawrence Bacchus. The police reported that the accident occurred around 04:00hrs on the No.28 Public Road, WCB and involved a motorcar with registration number PAC 2353 owned and driven by a 30-year-old Private from the GDF who resides in Fort Wellington, Region Five.
