Driver Gets 3 Years Prison Sentence for Mowing Down Senior Citizen Along Millennium Highway

Bruno Lexima, who was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving

The man responsible for a 2020 traffic collision that claimed the life of a senior citizen has been sentenced to three years in prison by the Supreme Court in Grand Turk.

Bruno Lexima, 34, of Kew Town, Providenciales, was sentenced on April 8, 2025, in connection with the fatal incident that occurred along Millennium Highway in November 2020.

The court imposed the following penalties:

·        Three years’ imprisonment for Causing Death by Dangerous Driving

·        Four months’ imprisonment for Dangerous Driving

Both sentences will run concurrently, meaning Lexima will serve a total of three years.

Additionally, the court ordered that Lexima’s driver’s license be suspended for 12 months following his release. While in prison, he is required to:

·        Complete a Dangerous Driving Education Program facilitated by the Department of Rehabilitation

·        Undergo psychological treatment through the Department of Behavioral Health Services

The collision occurred on the morning of November 23, 2020, at approximately 5:30 a.m., when police responded to reports of a serious crash involving pedestrians along Millennium Highway.

A white four-door Toyota Wish, driven by Lexima, struck two pedestrians. One of the victims, Kenneth John Walters, a 70-year-old pensioner from Blue Hills, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 40-year-old female pedestrian also sustained injuries and was treated at Cheshire Hall Medical Centre for non-life-threatening wounds.

Following a comprehensive investigation, Lexima was formally charged and brought before the court.

The sentencing concludes a long-standing case that has left a lasting impact on the Blue Hills community and underscores the dangers of reckless driving on public roads.
