The traffic fatality count climbed another notch higher after a pedestrian was struck and killed Sunday evening.

Preliminary reports indicate that a man was driving a white Honda RAV 4 vehicle south on Market Street near Quakoo Street when he struck a man attempting to cross the street.

The unidentified man died on the scene.

At last report, the driver, who was unharmed, was assisting police with their investigations.

This latest traffic fatality comes only hours after another man was killed and a woman was left fighting for her life in hospital.

According to police, the woman was the driver of a white Honda Civic that was travelling south along Bethel Avenue north when she lost control of the car and crashed into a utility pole.

The vehicle then careened a few feet along a cliff before coming to a stop.

The male passenger died on the scene.

The identities of both victims have not yet been released.

Dead Body Fished From Waters

Authorities are meantime relying on the results of an autopsy report to help them determine what led to the death of a man found floating in waters at Potter’s Cay Dock shortly after 10:00p.m. Sunday.

Active investigations continue in all the matters.
