The Bermuda Police Service (BPS) continues to investigate Tuesday evening’s two separate fatal collisions – as well as the serious injury collision that left two motorcyclists hospitalised – and would like to thank those witnesses that have already come forward, while making a renewed appeal for specific witnesses / information.
Constable Nidra McKenzie–Simons is the investigating officer for the collision that claimed the life of 56-year-old Marvin Lambe (third road fatality of 2021), which occurred at the pedestrian crossing outside the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo.
She is appealing to anyone who may have seen another motorcyclist traveling with Mr. Lambe prior to the 5:30pm collision, or was with Mr. Lambe earlier Tuesday afternoon 4th May – as well as anyone with residential or business CCTV camera / video footage in the Flatts Village area and John Smith’s Bay area that may help clarify the circumstances.

The Bermuda Police Service can now confirm the death of 81-year-old Leon Thomas and extends sincere condolences to his family and friends.
Mr. Thomas – believed to be a Southampton resident – was seriously injured when he attempted to walk across South Road in Southampton near the junction with Lighthouse Road and was struck by a motorcycle being ridden west along South Road around 5:47pm Tuesday, 4th May.
Despite lifesaving efforts at the crash site and being rushed to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital via ambulance, sadly Mr. Thomas was later pronounced dead.
The motorcyclist involved, said to be a 19-year-old Paget man, apparently sustained injuries to his leg and back and was admitted to the hospital for treatment. He was also arrested and later bailed in connection with this fatal collision.
working during a pandemic
Over the last year, the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtably had a negative impact on the lives of many Jamaicans, both locally and internationally, especially those working in the health sector, being one of the major groups which has been negatively affected by the pandemic. Doctors, nurses and others who work at clinics, hospitals have been facing the brunt of the pandemic.
One such individual is Shereez Thomas, a housekeeper who has worked at the Cornwall Regional Hospital for over nine years. Her job is to ensure that the rooms at the hospital are clean for the patients. The coronavirus coming to Jamaica has had an impact on her during the early stages, but she has not been dithered by this and instead continues to press on despite the challenges.
