The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) has issued an update on the investigation into the March 27^th fatal traffic accident, on the island’s main road in White Gate, St. Kitts, that resulted in the death of Kaliquan Woodley Bergan, age fifteen (15), of Sandy Point.

He succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. This was SKN’s 4^th Road Fatality for 2025. This incident caused somewhat of a vexation in the public, as several persons took to social media to express their grievance with the matter. Additionally, a protest was staged in the streets of Sandy Point.

In an update, police said “we can confirm that the incident occurred when Mr. Woodley Bergan, riding a motor scooter (displaying PB-7406) while travelling from Dieppe Bay to St. Paul’s, attempted to pass a stationary Police pickup (G-610). In doing so, he collided head-on with an oncoming motor pickup (P-9890). The force of the impact propelled Mr. Woodley Bergan and the scooter into the path of a motor omnibus (H-457), which struck them both.”

The motor scooter, oncoming motor pickup, and motor omnibus all sustained significant damages. There was no impact on or damage to the Police vehicle.

Authorities in a statement mentioned that “it is important to note, that Mr. Woodley Bergan was not wearing a helmet at the time of the incident.” Further investigations also revealed that the motor scooter, which was unregistered, unlicensed, uninsured, and displayed a license plate that is assigned to another vehicle, had been reported stolen from the Lamberts area in St. Kitts on March 16^th.  Though investigations into this incident continue, lawmen reminded the public that the legal age to obtain a driver’s licence is eighteen (18) years for motor vehicles and sixteen (16) years to obtain a permit to operate motorcycles.
