The island’s recording of its sixteenth road death of 2026 has amplified calls for peace on the island.

A plea for harmony on the roads fromImagine Bermuda is part of the purpose of “Let Our Light Shine”in which motorists have been urged to drive with their lights on today.

The latest call came after a 42-year-old man died in the wake of a crash in Hamilton Parish shortly after 2am on Wednesday.

Police confirmed the fatality after the visiting Briton was seriously injured when his rental scooter crashed on North Shore Road, east of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

Imagine Bermuda said the call for peace also highlighted the deadly impact of the cycle of gang violence as well the “illegal madness resulting in the killing of hundreds of thousands of children and other civilians at an unprecedented rate”.

The campaign highlights a milestone on Bermuda’s journey to democracy.

Activist Glenn Fubler said last week that the lighting-up movement for vehicles was partly to “promote peace on our roads, and in our communities and peace in global events”.

He said it was also a feature of observing the 60th anniversary of the London Constitutional Conference for Bermuda in 1966, which ultimately led to the first fully democratic General Election — under universal adult suffrage — two years later.

Mr Fubler also revealed plans to unveil a mural this weekend at a carnival-style celebration at Devonshire Recreation Club.
