US Citizen and Jamaican killed in Dominica Road Crash
Roshane Bent and Christian Green

A woman visiting Dominica from New York for Carnival celebrations is among two people who lost their lives in a tragic road traffic collision on Friday, February 6, 2026.

The deceased have been identified as Roshane Bent, an adult male Jamaican national residing in Massacre, and Christian Green, a 39-year-old female of Massacre who was visiting the island from New York City. Green was riding as a pillion passenger on a motorcycle at the time of the crash.

According to the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force, the collision involved multiple vehicles travelling along the roadway.

These included a Toyota Noah, registration number PX577, owned and driven by Bashie Alie of Morne Daniel; a Toyota HiAce bus, registration number HF618, registered to Sandy Wade of Fond Cole and driven by Kenneth Serrant of St. Joseph; and a motorcycle, registration number PA3413, registered to Clyford Telemacque of Grand Bay and ridden by Bent.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the vehicles collided while travelling along the roadway. The exact circumstances surrounding the crash remain under active investigation.

Both Bent and Green were transported to the Accident and Emergency Department of the Dominica-China Friendship Hospital, where they later succumbed to their injuries. They were medically examined and pronounced dead at approximately 9:42 p.m.

Their bodies have since been transported to Lyndhurst Funeral Home, where they are awaiting post-mortem examinations.

Police investigations into the fatal collision are ongoing.
