Cyclist killed

Yesterday was not only overcast and wet. It turned out to be deadly as well.

Clement Alexander, 51, of St James, became the 12th person to die on the island’s roads this year when he was involved in an accident with an SUV driven by Marlene Jemmott of St Thomas, at the junction of Pine Road and 5th Avenue Belleville, St Michael.

Alexander was pronounced dead at the scene.

When a Saturday Sun team visited the scene, all that remained was Alexander’s badly damaged silver, red and black mountain bike.

Family members who had converged on the scene refused to comment. (RB)
