An eyewitness recounted that Dundas was midway across the road when she noticed a fast-approaching car and attempted to retreat to the corner. However, the driver reportedly swerved and hit her. “The lady was standing when she see the car was coming, she tried to pull back but then he end up hitting her and pitch up in the air. The window screen broke,” the witness said. Dundas died at the scene.
The witness further alleged that the driver appeared to be travelling at an extremely high speed, saying, “He was speeding… he looked like he was going 200 or 180.” Another resident recalled speaking with Dundas earlier about her plans for the Christmas season. “We were chatting about Christmas. She told me she was going to collect some money this week to buy a Christmas tree. She had already finished decorating her house,” the woman shared, describing Dundas as a “cool,” well-known member of the community. Deputy Commander of Regional Police Division 4A, Senior Superintendent John Barker, confirmed that the driver is currently in police custody and that investigations are ongoing.
