Police Investigate Fatal Traffic Collision on Popeshead Street

A tragic pre-dawn traffic incident in St. John’s has claimed the life of a young Antiguan man, prompting an ongoing investigation by the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda. The fatal collision occurred approximately at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 30, 2025, along Popeshead Street near the Pita Pocket establishment. Preliminary investigative findings indicate that 23-year-old Joshua Alexander from Light Foot was operating a black scooter traveling north to south at considerable velocity when he apparently lost control of his vehicle. The subsequent impact with a roadside wall and sidewalk on the eastern side of Popeshead Street resulted in catastrophic multiple injuries. Emergency Medical Services personnel arrived promptly at the scene but detected no vital signs during their initial assessment. The young man was formally pronounced deceased by a medical professional at 3:16 a.m. The Royal Police Force has extended profound sympathies to Alexander’s bereaved family and friends while continuing their thorough investigation into the precise circumstances surrounding this devastating incident.
