Back in February of this year, just days after the General Election, a troubling incident unfolded on Court Street.
A rear traffic collision occurred where a female driver—believed to be under the influence of alcohol—struck a parked vehicle.
What followed is perhaps even more alarming than the crash itself.
We understand that a close friend of the female driver appeared on the scene, removed the vehicle, and took it to a nearby dealership to be repaired—effectively erasing the evidence of the crime.
But the most disturbing detail is this: a Government Minister of the ruling party also arrived, picked up the impaired driver, and transported her home.
This was done with full knowledge of the situation. They knew the condition of the driver believed to be a Candidate in the General Election held days before.
They knew the seriousness of the accident. Yet instead of alerting authorities, instead of ensuring accountability, they enabled by failing to report.
Drunk driving. Hitting a vehicle. Removing the car. No police involvement. And then, direct contact with the owner of the damaged vehicle—quietly pressuring a settlement, tying the owner’s hands and suppressing justice.
To this post-election crash, the questions resound:
• When does the lawlessness end?
• When does accountability begin?
• When will integrity come into play?
• Why wasn’t the police notified in this case?
•Why was a drunk driver quietly escorted home and shielded from consequence?
• Why was the truth hidden from the public?
These are the questions that demand answers.
TNN understands from reliable source the total cost of the damage for both vehicles were in the amount of twenty eight thousand dollars.
TNN has sort inquires into this matter from the Bermuda Police Service (BPS) and awaits a reply.
