A tragic vehicular accident occurred in El Socorro late Sunday night, resulting in the death of 51-year-old Adrian Lessey from St James. Police reported that Lessey’s body was discovered near the westbound lane of the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway, close to the El Socorro walkover, after officers responded to the scene around 11:25 p.m. Investigators found a gold Nissan Almera overturned in a nearby drain, with Lessey’s body found a short distance away in a bushy area, suffering severe injuries to the midsection, leading investigators to describe the horrific scene as him having been ‘split in half’ by the crash. A damaged traffic barricade was located at the scene, and preliminary investigations indicate that Lessey may have lost control of his vehicle before colliding with the barrier.
