Cooper said the driver, a 24-year-old Sisters Village, WBD resident who was arrested has since been released on station bail as the investigation continues.

“We still investigating because remember they (Batson and Callendar) were riding on the wrong side of the road and without lights and so”, he noted.

The accident which had occurred around 9.30pm had claimed the life of 18-year-old Dan Batson called ‘Q’, a construction worker of Lot 119 Bagotville Public Road, WBD.
