The police are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding a traffic accident on Pares Main Road that led to the tragic death of 47-year-old Gregson Hixon from Grays Farm.

The incident involved a white Honda Fit traveling from west to east along Pares Main Road.

According to reports, the driver swerved to avoid hitting an animal near Welch’s Supermarket, which caused the vehicle to collide with the sidewalk on the southern side of the road.

As a result, the driver lost control, and the car veered off the northern side of the road, crashing into a large stone.

The impact caused the vehicle to overturn onto its side and catch fire.

Fire officers and Emergency Medical Services personnel worked together to rescue both the driver and the passenger from the wreckage.

They were taken to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, where Hixon unfortunately succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. The driver remains hospitalized but is in stable condition.

The Police Administration extends heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the deceased during this challenging time.

Motorists are reminded to exercise caution and attentiveness on the nation’s roads, especially in poorly lit areas.

Drivers are also encouraged to stay vigilant for stray animals, particularly along roadways bordered by dense vegetation.

Investigations into this incident are still ongoing.
