Basseterre, St. Kitts, December 21, 2024 (RSCNPF) — The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) is investigating a traffic accident that led to the death of 29-year-old Simoneth Williams of St. Peter’s, St. Kitts.

The incident occurred on December 20, 2024, between 11:30 PM and midnight, on the island’s main road in New Road, near the fencing of the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport’s runway.

Both the vehicle and its driver have been identified, and an investigation into the incident is currently underway. The public will be kept informed of any significant developments as the investigation progresses.
