Deceased Kyan Brent Joseph\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has publicly extended condolences to the grieving family of Kyan Brent Joseph in the wake of a tragic road accident on August 13, 2023, involving his son.<\/p>\n

On the aforementioned date, about 12:30 p.m, Joseph, aged 27 of Gutter Village who resided in Tarish Pit, was riding his motorcycle west from Grand Bay on the Bellevue Chopin Road.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Malik Skerrit was driving a Mitsubishi outlander in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

Information from the police is that the motorcycle and the vehicle collided resulting in serious injuries to Joseph and his female pillion rider.<\/p>\n

Joseph was transported to the Dominica China Friendship Hospital (DCFH) for medical treatment. However, later that same day, he succumbed to the severe injuries he had sustained.<\/p>\n

His female companion is nursing injuries at the DCFH.<\/p>\n

Skerrit received no major injuries from the incident.<\/p>\n

At a press conference on August 14, Prime Minister Skerrit stated, \u201cAs you all know, my son was involved in a vehicular accident yesterday and one of the persons involved has lost his life.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cI want to extend my sincerest condolences as I have done privately to the family of Mr. Kyan Joseph. I cannot say much on this matter but I want to express publicly my heartfelt condolences and solidarity to his family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The police say investigation into the matter is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has publicly extended condolences to the grieving family of Kyan Brent Joseph in the wake of a tragic road accident on August 13, 2023, involving his son.
