Police have released the identity of the man who died in a motor vehicle crash before daylight yesterday, August 6, at Cotton Piece district in Ewarton, St Catherine.

He is 30-year-old Roneil Steer from Victoria district in Linstead, St. Catherine.

A woman with whom he was traveling suffered minor injury.

The JCF said: “Reports from the Ewarton Police are that, about 2:05AM, Steer was driving a 2014 grey Nissan AD Wagon when he lost control of the vehicle, hit a wall and overturned.”
