A devastating head-on collision on the Grand Bahama Highway over the weekend has claimed the lives of two men, including a chef who had repeatedly voiced concerns about the dangerous conditions of the road. The accident occurred between 6am and 6.30am on a poorly lit stretch of the highway, which lacks streetlights despite the early sunrise. Christopher Smith, a chef at The Garden of the Groves, and Mozen Selemfort, a boat captain at Statoil in East End, were both on their way to work when the crash happened. Smith’s sister, Roseleen Smith, who was driving the vehicle with him as a passenger, sustained serious injuries and remains hospitalized. The collision occurred when a white Honda, driven by Selemfort and traveling east, veered into the westbound lane, striking Roseleen’s grey Chrysler head-on. Both Smith and Selemfort died at the scene, marking the 53rd traffic fatality in the country this year. The Grand Bahama Highway, located just east of the Lucayan National Park, was closed for over two hours as police conducted investigations. Smith’s colleagues and family expressed deep sorrow over the loss, describing him as a compassionate and dedicated individual who frequently highlighted the perilous state of the highway. Superintendent Christopher Farquharson of the Grand Bahama Traffic Division confirmed that speed was a contributing factor in the crash. The incident has reignited concerns about road safety in the area, with calls for immediate improvements to prevent further tragedies.
