A motorcyclist and a driver died in separate incidents in the space of a few hours overnight on Sunday and into Monday morning.
In one of the fatal crashes, a 31-year-old man died and three others were injured, one seriously, after a crash on Shamrock Road in Savannah.
The Honda Fit left the road near Cool Springs Road in Savannah at about 1:30am on Monday and crashed into trees.
Police said one passenger was “critical” in hospital and the other two were being treated for what were said to be minor injuries.
The crash came just hours after a motorcyclist crashed and died on the Linford Pierson Highway in George Town.
Police said the rider appeared to have lost control around 11pm and crashed into trees and bushes at the roadside.
The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene by a doctor.
No other vehicles were involved in either incident and police have not yet released details of the two victims.
The two fatalities bring the death toll on Cayman’s roads so far this year to three.
Shamrock Road was closed between Spotts Newlands Road and Hirst Road while police examined the scene.
Road users were diverted along Hirst Road and Rex Crighton Boulevard.
Police investigations into both incidents continue.
The deaths happened just before government launched the second phase of its road safety campaign, which started two years ago.
