Police have released the name of an 18-year-old male who died as a result of a vehicular road traffic collision on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The deceased is Tyrell Baltazar of Pottersville. He was the pillion rider of a motor scooter driven by 15-year-old Sherquan Seaman of Upper Gutter.<\/p>\n

Seaman was transported to the Accident and Emergency Department of the Dominica-China Friendship Hospital (DCFH).<\/p>\n
