A taxi driver is now dead after suffering a medical emergency while transporting guests to the airport on Saturday morning… 

Initial calls to the police control room around 10:06am, stated that a vehicular accident had occurred on the Leeward Highway in the vicinity of Wine Cellar. However, upon arrival on scene, police realized there was no accident, the driver appeared to have suffered from a medical emergency and was trying to pull off the road to avoid further incident. 

No guests were injured or harmed, and another taxi in the area stopped to assist by transferring the guests to his vehicle and taking them to the airport. 

The driver was transported to the Cheshire Hall medical center where he later died around 10:48am. 

We would like to extend our condolences to the family on this sudden passing of their family member.
