POLICE are investigating a fatal accident that occurred around 20:00 hours on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, at the intersection of Amelia’s Ward Public Road and Toucan Drive in Linden. The accident claimed the life of 25-year-old motorcyclist, Joshua Ross, an unemployed resident of Industrial Area, Linden.

The accident involved motor car #PXX 4611, owned and driven by 69-year-old pensioner, Juliet Alexander, and motorcycle #CN 6284, ridden by Ross.

According to police investigations, Alexander’s vehicle was travelling north along the western lane of Toucan Drive, while Ross was speeding east along Amelia’s Ward Public Road, riding in a zig-zag motion without a helmet and with his motorcycle’s lights off.

As the car approached the intersection, Alexander stopped before attempting to cross the public road, but at that moment, Ross collided with the front left side of the car. The impact flung Ross several feet onto the northern parapet, causing severe injuries.

Public-spirited citizens rushed Ross to the Linden Hospital Complex, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. His body has been transported to the Linden Senior Citizens Association Funeral Home’s Mortuary, where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
The motorcycle and car have been impounded for examination by a licensing and certifying officer, while Alexander remains in custody assisting with the investigation.
