1 Dead, 3 Injured in  Collision; Deceased Identified as Estevan Chiac

Police are investigating a fatal road traffic accident that left one person dead and three others injured. The accident occurred between miles 36 and 37 on the George Price Highway. Upon arrival, officers found a white Chrysler van partially off the road and a green Ford Escape overturned with its wheels in the air.

The driver of the van, 27-year-old tour guide Dennis Kevin Perez, told police that while traveling with two foreign passengers, Kelsey Marie O’Connor and Baylee Ann O’Brien, he saw the Ford Escape, driven by 40-year-old Jaime Alberto Correa, overturn and crash into his vehicle. The impact forced Perez’s van off the road, leaving him and his passengers with injuries. Meanwhile, 28-year-old Estevan Chiac, who was a passenger in the Ford Escape, died at the scene. Correa was transported to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital in an unconscious state with various injuries. The investigation is ongoing.
