Dead Julie Higgins
Based on reports received, on the day in question at about 15:35h, the motorcar bearing registration number PJJ 9024 driven by a resident of Central Amelia’s Ward, Linden was heading out from Rockstone and about 10 minutes away from the junction, he reportedly lost control while negotiating a turn.
Due to the car’s speed, it reportedly flipped several times before coming to a halt. Higgins was flung out of the vehicle and was later found some distance away from where the wrecked vehicle stopped.
Both the driver and Higgins were taken to the Linden Hospital Complex where the woman was pronounced dead on arrival. The driver, however, sustained injuries to his left shoulder. He was admitted for observation.
Meanwhile, a breathalyser test conducted on the driver revealed no trace of alcohol in his system but he was detained and is assisting with investigations.
