Two injured in Mandeville crash

A severe two-vehicle accident occurred on the Winston Jones Highway near Marshall’s Pen in Mandeville, Jamaica, early Thursday morning, leaving two individuals injured. The incident took place around 7:49 am when a Honda Vezel and a Honda Grace, traveling in opposite directions, collided. According to eyewitnesses, the Vezel was attempting to overtake other vehicles when it crashed into the Grace. The impact forced the Vezel off the road, causing it to spin out of control. A female passenger in the Grace sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital for immediate medical attention. Meanwhile, the driver of the Vezel was trapped inside his vehicle. A local resident from Marshall’s Pen intervened, using a crowbar to pry open the jammed door and free the driver. A nurse on the scene provided first aid before the driver was transported to the hospital shortly after 8:00 am. Emergency services, including police and firefighters, responded promptly to manage the situation and clear the roadway to restore normal traffic flow.
