A motorcycle crash early Saturday morning has left a 22-year-old man dead and a young woman hospitalized following a collision involving a police service vehicle in Denbigh.
The deceased has been identified as Kevin Baker, a welder from Havana Heights, Clarendon.
According to police reports, the incident occurred at approximately 2:10 a.m. along Muirhead Avenue. Baker was travelling west on a Zamco 200 motorcycle with a 20-year-old female passenger aboard.
Investigators said neither occupant was wearing a protective helmet at the time of the crash.
Police reported that a 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser, being used in stop-and-search operations, was positioned along the roadway when Baker allegedly began operating the motorcycle in an erratic manner. The motorcycle subsequently collided with the police vehicle.
Both Baker and his passenger sustained injuries and were transported to the May Pen Hospital for treatment. Baker was later pronounced dead, while the woman was admitted in serious condition.
The Area Three Accident Reconstruction Unit processed the scene as part of the ongoing investigation.
