Mahaut, Dominica (TDN) -- Police in Mahaut, Dominica are reporting the death of Yonnel ‘Young Stunner’ Pascal of Mahaut and Leslie George of Coulibistrie following a collision at around 3:00 A.M on Saturday March 31, 2012 on the streets of that community.
George was riding his motor cycle with a female rider when he collided with Pascal who was walking along the road in Mahaut. He was pronounced dead on the scene and Pascal later died at the Princess Margaret Hospital. The female rider is nursing serious injuries but is expected to survive.
