One person is dead after a motor vehicle collision at Arnos Vale.

The incident reportedly occurred tonight (Friday, June 27) at the Tarmac of the decommissioned E.T. Joshua Airport.

Dead is Hy Ellis, a foreign based Vincentian promoter and artiste manager who was reportedly here for the carnival season.

He was set to host the show Water World: Water Ballons on Saturday, June 28.

We are tracking this story and will bring more details as they come to hand from authoritative sources.

In a clear departure from our editorial policy, One News SVG extends condolences to the family of the deceased.

On June 26, Mr. Ellis introduced himself to a member of One News SVG in Kingstown and spoke at length about the local entertainment industry and the media landscape.

The conversation lasted for over an hour.

He was also in good spirits as he was with two young relatives at the venue.

As such, we are shocked at the sudden passing of Mr. Ellis.

We will bring updates on this story as they come to hand.
