Chief Superintendent Marvin Dames said that the victim, who was the only female passenger in a group of four travelling in the green Nissan Sentra, has not yet been identified.
What police do know, however, is that the group was travelling from the Lion’s Club on Thompson Boulevard after attending a function.
“As they were coming down the hill toward the Police College for some apparent reason the vehicle crashed into a lamp pole as well as part of the wall that surrounds the Police College. As a result of this incident the young lady died from her injuries,” he said.
However, the other two male passengers and the driver did escape with some injuries.
The vehicle was driven by a 29-year-old male resident of Meadows Street.
Police are not speculating as to what may have been the cause of the tragic accident, but are not ruling out speed and wet roads as a factor.
