It happened in or very near downtown Negril. I was In the area at that time and suddenly everyone was talking about it. I didn't see it so only know what details I read in the paper. However, I do know police and EMS were on the scene quickly.

Anyone who walks downtown knows what a hazard the bikes are. They do fly around at dangerous speeds without regard for their own safety or that of others.
Yesterday at noon I went shopping at Cash n Carry next to Winners Plaza where the bike taxis congregate. Of course, it was business as usual. The guys were drinking and smoking. The police were at the roundabout busy stopping route taxis and checking paperwork while impaired bikers flew by.
Maybe the death of a tourist will motivate the police into some modest action but I doubt it. Certainly the deaths and serious injury of Jamaicans from bike accidents hasn't.
