She was not only my daughter, but my very best friend, my heart, and my world.”
“She loved dancing, the beach, her family, and her friends more than anything. She adored her dog, Ryder, and her cat, Kendal. She had the most beautiful smile and could light up an entire room the moment she walked in.” According to the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF), the fatal accident occurred on the night of May 22nd 2026, between approximately 11:30 p.m. and midnight. Motor jeep R-18 was travelling along Half Moon Bay Road when it struck a curb wall, causing the driver to lose control.

The Crime Scene Unit processed the area and collected items of evidential value. Investigations remain ongoing. The RSCNPF extended condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased.
