Shortly before 12:30AM on Thursday morning, 8 August, the 9-1-1 Communications Centre received a report that a CAT excavator was parked along the roadside on Anton Bodden Drive, Bodden Town, with the excavator arm extending into the roadway.
Shortly afterwards it was reported that a vehicle had collided with the excavator arm. Police, along with the Cayman Islands Fire Service and Emergency Medical Services, attended the location and observed the driver of the vehicle, who had sustained injuries to his head. The man, who is a senior politician, was transported to the Cayman Islands Hospital to be treated for his injuries, which appear to be non-life-threatening. He remains in hospital at this time.
It was later confirmed that Minister of Labour, Border Control and Culture, Honourable Dwayne Seymour, was involved in a motor vehicle collision
Minister Seymour has been released from hospital and the Government extends prayers and speedy recovery to the Minister.
A request for a sample of blood was made to the attending physician for investigative purposes. The matter remains under investigation.
Police are also investigating how the excavator arm came to be extending into the roadway at the time of the collision.
