A devastating traffic collision on Braco Main Road in Trelawny has resulted in one confirmed fatality and left two additional individuals requiring urgent medical attention. The incident, which unfolded shortly after 4:00 pm on Thursday, involved a violent impact between a Toyota Fortuner and a Suzuki Jimny.
According to preliminary investigative reports, the deceased victim was traveling as an occupant within the Toyota Fortuner at the time of the catastrophic crash. Law enforcement officials have yet to publicly disclose the identity of the individual killed, pending formal identification and family notification procedures.
The two survivors of the collision were promptly transported from the wreckage to a nearby medical facility for emergency treatment. Their current conditions remain undisclosed by authorities.
The aftermath of the accident significantly impeded vehicular movement through the area, as police investigators conducted a meticulous forensic examination of the scene to determine the precise cause of the tragedy.
This latest fatal incident underscores a deeply concerning pattern of roadway dangers in the parish, occurring merely days after another separate and equally deadly crash on the North Coast Highway on January 4th that claimed two lives. These consecutive tragedies have intensified public scrutiny regarding the adequacy of existing road safety measures and enforcement within the Trelawny region.
The local police force has confirmed that a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding Thursday’s collision remains actively ongoing.
