And, police are investigating the death of one of their own - who died in an apparent traffic accident. Police constable Kieron Carlos left his post in coronal sometime yesterday evening but never got home. He was found this morning face down in a culvert between miles 59 and 60, which is the famous Mameyal Curve.

His father told CTV-3 that he knew something was wrong when he didn't pass any last night:
