Police Investigate Fatal Traffic Collision on Old Parham Road

St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda, Tuesday, 22 July 2025

The police are continuing investigations into a fatal traffic collision that claimed the life of 30-year-old Huneka Benjamin of Clare Hall.

The incident occurred at approximately 7:45 p.m. on Monday, 21 July 2025, on Old Parham Road in the vicinity of the CIBC Bank. It involved a white Lexus GS350 motor car driven by Dalton Hall of Church Lane, and a grey Toyota Vitz motor car, which was being driven by the deceased.

Initial reports suggest that Benjamin was exiting the CIBC parking lot and attempting to turn onto Old Parham Road from the north heading south, when her vehicle collided with the Lexus, which was travelling westward on Old Parham Road.

The impact of the collision caused the Toyota Vitz to come to rest on the northern side of the roadway, facing north, while the Lexus veered off to the southern side and landed on a vacant lot.

Benjamin sustained multiple injuries and was transported to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, where she was pronounced dead at approximately 8:16 p.m. The driver and a passenger from the Lexus were also taken to the hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Both vehicles sustained extensive damage as a result of the collision.

The Traffic Department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
