Singer Terry Linen, real name Kiplin Simpson, was involved in a motor-vehicle accident on Sunday in which one person died.

Police say Linen, 33, was driving along the Cheapside main road in Junction, St Elizabeth, in a 2007 Toyota Tacoma which collided with a 2006 unregistered motorcycle ridden by businessman Ainsworth Smikle, 26, from Junction.

Constabulary Communication Network liasion officer for St Elizabeth, Constable Karole Panton, said Smikle was among a group of five cyclists riding along the road, but he failed to properly negotiate a left-hand corner and collided with the left front section of the Tacoma. Smikle was taken to the Mandeville Hospital where he died yesterday.

Linen was reportedly shaken up by the accident but was not injured. He could not be reached for comment. Panton warned: "We, the police in St Elizabeth, are warning and imploring motorists to be careful while travelling on our roads. Extreme caution must be exercised at all times as we will be taking a no-tolerance approach to breakers of the Road Traffic Act."
