Police say Edmond Jurga of New York, a part-time resident of Grand Bahama, was driving east along Bishop Place when he overlooked a stop sign at the intersection with Balao Road around 3pm on Friday.
Mr Jurga’s 2001 Hyundai Accent reportedly collided with a Pontiac Firebird driven by Stacey Seymour, 44, of Wrexhem Drive.
Both vehicles were extensively damaged.
Seymour sustained an injury to the head and Mr Jurga complained of a pain in one of his legs. They were both taken by ambulance to hospital, where Seymour was treated and discharged.
However, Mr Jurga was admitted. He died around 12.15pm on Saturday.
Supt Basil Rahming said police are awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine the cause of death before a classification is made.
