The 32 year old victim was treated on the scene by paramedics and then taken in critical condition to The Sint Maarten Medical Centre for further treatment.
The investigation done thus far by the Police Traffic Department shows that the victim was travelling at a high speed coming from the French Quarter area to Ditch Quarter. For unknown reasons the scooter collided with the elevated centre divider on the street at which time the victim lost control, fell to the ground and injuring himself quite seriously.
The investigating officers later in the morning received information from the medical centre that the victim had died as a result of the injuries he sustained.
