No crime in Khimouy Antoine's crash 

PHILIPSBURG--Authorities have concluded that Monday's fatal car crash in Saunders was just an accident, officially dismissing any possible pursuit of criminal charges against a young person who was held.

Khimouy Andromeda Antoine (18) died after she crashed her Suzuki Swift into a light post on Coralita Road. She was two weeks away from turning 19. Witnesses told police they saw a small white car chasing her through the neighbourhood.

Prosecutor Rienk Mud Tuesday dispelled rumours of racing, saying that Antoine's crash was merely an accident. "She just lost control of the car," Mud told The Daily Herald, calling the crash "purely unilateral." "There was a rumour of a chase or some kind of race, but investigation has shown that nothing of that sort was happening."

Police held one person that day for questioning. They have since released St. Maarten-born R.P.J.G. from custody.
