A young woman named Huneka Benjamin tragically lost her life in a collision involving a Toyota Vitz near the CIBC First Caribbean Bank on Old Parham Road. She is from Johnson’s Village.

Initial reports indicate that a Lexus was allegedly speeding west when Benjamin was trying to exit the bank’s parking area.

The impact was so severe that it caused the Lexus to veer off into a nearby lot adjacent to the bank.

      i won’t say the Lexus driver was reckless. When turning onto a major highway you should do so in a safe manner so as not to cause a collision with vehicles already on that major motorway. Please drive safely

    How can anyone in their right mind be driving at such a high speed on Old Parham Road? That is above the speed limit. The driver has to be high out on the good weed or under the influence of alcohol or some strong drugs.
    My condolences to her family. May God comfort and strengthen them all. May her soul rest in peace.

    If it’s speeding west won’t the vehicle be on the opposite side of the road.
    Either way this is a really sad moment for the family and all involved
