The Bermuda Police Service has called for witnesses to the crash that killed 16-year-old Arai Joell-Johnston to come forward — particularly the driver of a car seen in the area.

A Police spokesman said this afternoon: “Arai was seriously injured when the auxiliary cycle he was riding collided with a car around 11.10pm Tuesday on Harbour Road, Paget, just 50m west of Chapel Road.

“He was subsequently pronounced dead at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital at 11.52pm. Police are specifically appealing for the public’s assistance in identifying the driver of the motor car which was travelling east along Harbour Road, Paget by Newstead Hotel within close proximity of the oncoming motor car and motor cyclist at the time of the collision.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact Constable David Ward at the Roads Policing Unit on telephone number 247-1230 or via e-mail at dward@bps.bm.
