Saint Lucia police have confirmed the Island’s first road fatality for 2025 following a collision involving two vehicles at Rodney Bay on Saturday.

Investigators have identified the deceased as Ivin Kenal Lucien of Chapel Street, Gros Islet, one of several people involved in the collision between a Suzuki Swift and a Mitsubishi pickup at about 5:20 am.

According to reports, Lucien was one of the persons in the Swift when the collision with the pickup, in which the driver was the sole occupant, occurred.

Saint Lucia Fire Service (SLFS) personnel from Castries Headquarters and the Gros Islet Fire Station responded after learning of the incident and transported injured victims to the hospital.

Last year, amid serious accidents and violent attacks, the SLFS urged a collective effort to prioritise safety across the Island.

“The frequency and severity of these incidents are deeply concerning. As first responders, we continue to provide immediate care and assistance, but the root causes of these tragedies—ranging from road safety issues to violent crime—require urgent attention from all sectors of society,” SLFS spokeswoman Sherise John said last month.
