A 33-year-old mini-bus driver was granted bail yesterday at District A Traffic Court, after being charged with causing the death of 61-year-old Marjorie Felicia Boyce.

Boyce died after a horrific vehicular accident along The Garden, St James, last Thursday.

More than 30 people, including school children, were treated for various injuries after the crash, which involved two mini-buses and a tractor trailer.

Troy Jermaine Stuart of Bynoe Road, Golf Club Road, Christ Church, was not required to plead to the indictable charge that he caused Boyce's death by driving B144 in a manner dangerous to the public, having regard to the circumstances of the case, including the nature, condition and use of the road, and the amount of traffic that is actually on the road at the time or might be reasonably be expected at the time.

Stuart was ordered by Magistrate Deborah Holder to report to Holetown Police Station every Monday and Friday before 10 a.m.

He was also ordered to surrender his passport, but investigations revealed he had never been issued one by the Immigration Department.

Stuart, represented by attorney-at-law Michael Lashley, was also ordered to appear at Holetown Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

He was placed on $10 000 bail with a surety. (BA)
