Po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the death of a 72-year-old man in Ma­yaro on Thurs­day night af­ter he crashed his ve­hi­cle in­to a parked car near Jean­vi­er Trace, Bris­tol Vil­lage.

Of­fi­cers said James Moren al­so called Jame­sey of Radix Vil­lage, was dri­ving along the road­way around 10.43 pm when the ac­ci­dent oc­curred.

A wit­ness told Guardian Me­dia Lim­it­ed that Moren’s ve­hi­cle struck a parked car, flipped over, and land­ed near­by. The parked ve­hi­cle be­longed to the wit­ness’ sis­ter, who was stand­ing next to it at the time.

The wit­ness said her sis­ter es­caped in­jury but her hus­band, who was al­so near­by, was struck dur­ing the in­ci­dent and re­mained in hos­pi­tal up to yes­ter­day evening.  

Moren died at the scene. A pas­sen­ger in his ve­hi­cle was tak­en to hos­pi­tal for treat­ment.

It is un­clear whether Moren may have suf­fered a med­ical episode be­fore the crash.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
