The police Spokesman said M-8002 was driving towards Mount William Hill while the scooter came from the other direction and they collided at the entrance of Amsterdam Shopping Center. Henson said the driver of M-8002 collided head on with the scooter as the driver attempted to turn into the parking lot of Amsterdam Shopping Center. As a result of the impact both occupants on the scooter were seriously injured, Arrindell died as a result of his injuries. The victim was pronounced dead on the scene by Dr. Mercuur around 11pm.
All traffic to and from the Dutch Quarter area was diverted so that the police traffic department and Forensic department could conduct a thorough investigation.
The driver of the M-8002 with the initials W.H. in the meantime has been arrested and held for questioning and for further investigation, because there is some suspicion, that he may have been using a controlled substance at the time of the accident.
The investigation is still ongoing. It is still unclear what occurred prior and during this fatal accident. The Police Department is therefore asking anyone who has witnessed this accident to please contact the Traffic Department and to provide them with information that can lead to the exact cause of the accident.
