Serious Incident in Cay Bay: Police Investigating Car Fire with Injured Victim

At approximately 6:00 AM, the police dispatch center received multiple reports of a vehicle on fire in Cay Bay with a male victim inside. Police patrols and ambulance personnel were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, officers encountered a male victim suffering from severe burns to his upper body. Paramedics provided emergency medical care on-site before rushing him to the St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) for further treatment.
