 BASSETERRE, St.Kitts– A Sandy Point pastor, on Saturday 18th November, was fatally injured following a 3-vehicle crash outside of an event venue for a gospel festival he had attended

Dead is 45-year-old Mark Hodge, the Federation’s seventh road fatality victim for 2017.

Police say that at about 1:40 AM that traffic accident occurred along Wellington Road in the vicinity of Flow’s Grounds.

The collision involved male pedestrian Hodge and his motor van P9838 as well as motor jeep PA5711 owned by Scenic Railway but was driven by Christopher True and motor jeep PB496 owned by Neysa Baker-Tyson of Old Road.

According to police, circumstances are that PB496 and P9838 were parked on the western side slightly on the road facing south.
