Charged for Causing the Death of Tamisha Jeal

Police have formally charged 57-year-old Simeon Herrera, a businessman from the Cayo District, in connection with the collision that claimed the life of 19-year-old Tamisha Jeal and left her brother, Keenan Wragg, hospitalised.

The accident occurred on Sunday, September 8, at the intersection of the George Price Highway and Carillo Puerto Avenue.

Herrera was charged with multiple offences, including manslaughter by negligence, causing death by careless conduct, failing to give way when changing direction, driving without due care and attention, operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license, and driving a vehicle not covered by third-party risk insurance.

Tamisha, who had just celebrated her 19th birthday, was an aspiring wildlife veterinarian who graduated at the top of her class from Galen University earlier this year. She and her brother were travelling on a motorcycle when the crash occurred. Despite Keenan’s attempts to shield his sister, both were thrown from the bike, and Tamisha succumbed to her injuries shortly after.
