A man died after crashing a vehicle into a brick wall in Regents Park on Wednesday, October 27.
According to JMPD’s spokesperson Wayne Minnaar, JMPD officers who were stopping vehicles in Regents Park had to chase behind a silver grey Mazda SUV which had failed to stop for officers at a routine roadside check.
“The male driver who appears to be in his forties, died on the scene after he smashed through a locked gate of undeveloped property on Vickers Road, Regents Park, and collided with a brick wall,” he said.
