making the demand. The letter stated that Humphrey drove recklessly, dangerously, and negligently, causing damage to public property and injury to passengers.

“As a result of your reckless, dangerous and negligent driving, as well as your complete disregard for other road users, you caused damage to the Water Fountain and other parts of the Roundabout and injuries to yourself and passengers, namely, Fulisa Burnette and Phillip Jeffrey, both of whom were rendered unconscious resulting from the impact of the collision of your motor vehicle PAB 805 into the Roundabout,” the letter stated.

The letter noted that the government has already spent $2,100,000 on emergency repairs to the damage caused by the collision and demanded that Humphrey pay this sum within fourteen days. It cautioned that failure to pay the amount name will result in legal proceedings being instituted against Humphrey for recovery of the amount.

The letter said that the emergency repair work included mobilisation and demobilization, demolition of damaged sections and removal of debris from site; replacement of stone pavers, repairs to the fountain rails inclusive of tiling, supply and installation of stone tiles to the fountain’s interior, draining of the fountain and degreasing, cleaning of the fountain of oil and other contaminants; replacement of jet, pump repairs and electrical work among other tasks.
