WATCH: Several injured after bus overturns on PJ Patterson Highway

A road traffic incident in St Catherine, Jamaica has left multiple people injured after a passenger bus overturned on the PJ Patterson Highway Saturday afternoon. According to local reports, the crash unfolded at approximately 4:30 p.m., when a Toyota Coaster carrying seven occupants was traveling along the wet thoroughfare. The vehicle lost traction on the rain-soaked pavement, skidding out of control before colliding with the highway’s central median and flipping onto its side. Emergency response teams were dispatched to the scene shortly after the accident. All injured passengers, who are reported to have sustained only minor injuries from the crash, were transported to a nearby medical center to receive urgent care and evaluation. A local journalist, Llewellyn Wynter, captured video footage of the crash site following the incident. Road safety officials have noted that wet driving conditions significantly increase stopping distances and the risk of skidding, reminding motorists to reduce speed and exercise extra caution during and after rainfall. No further updates on the victims’ conditions have been released as of the latest report.
