The quiet community of White Gate, St. Kitts, was shattered on the evening of March 27, 2025, by a tragic traffic accident that claimed the life of fifteen-year-old Kaliquan Woodley. The incident, occurring between 8:00 PM and 8:30 PM on the main road, unfolded as Kaliquan, a resident of Sandy Point, was riding his motor scooter from Dieppe Bay towards St. Paul’s. The preliminary investigation reveals a devastating sequence of events: Kaliquan’s scooter collided with a vehicle, causing him to fall onto the roadway. Tragically, before he could react or be assisted, another vehicle passing through the area struck him. This second impact proved fatal.

Emergency responders arrived at the scene, but Kaliquan’s injuries were too severe. He was pronounced dead at the location of the accident. The news of his untimely demise quickly spread through the close-knit communities of St. Kitts, leaving family, friends, and the wider community reeling from the shock and grief of losing such a young life. The suddenness and tragic nature of the accident underscored the fragility of life and the devastating consequences that can arise from unforeseen circumstances on the road.

In the immediate aftermath of the accident, the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) initiated a comprehensive investigation. Their specialized Crime Scene Unit meticulously processed the accident site, meticulously collecting physical evidence and documenting the scene. This evidence, including vehicle debris, tire marks, and any potential witness accounts, will be crucial in piecing together the precise chain of events leading up to the collisions. The goal is to determine the factors contributing to the accident and establish whether any negligence or traffic violations played a role.

The investigation is a complex process, requiring detailed analysis of the collected evidence, interviews with potential witnesses, and reconstruction of the accident scene. Investigators will carefully examine the trajectory of the vehicles involved, assess their speed at the time of impact, and evaluate the road conditions and visibility at the time of the incident. They will also explore whether factors such as driver distraction, mechanical failure, or environmental conditions contributed to the tragic outcome. The RSCNPF is committed to conducting a thorough and impartial investigation to provide answers to Kaliquan’s family and the community.

As the investigation progresses, the RSCNPF has appealed to the public for assistance. Anyone who may have witnessed the accident or possesses any information relevant to the case is urged to come forward and contact their nearest police station. Even seemingly minor details could prove invaluable in helping investigators reconstruct the events and determine the cause of the accident.
