Westmoreland Motorcycle Crash: A fatal motorcycle collision that occurred on Wednesday night on the Cave main road in Westmoreland has left a father dead and his son critically injured.
Dead is 37-year-old Odane Somers from Grass Piece district, Culloden, Whitehouse in the parish.
The incident, which took place shortly after 9:00 pm, resulted in Somers suffering a severed hand. Emergency personnel, including firefighters, responded to the scene, causing a gridlock along the affected section of the main road for hours.
Police reports state that Somers was driving his Brown Warhawk motorcycle towards Savanna-la-Mar, while the BMW 2015 driver was going towards Bluefields. The crash happened about 80 meters west of the Cave Mountain road junction near “Rockside,” causing both vehicles to collide in the middle of the road.
As a result of the crash, Somers and his son, who was riding as a passenger, were thrown from the motorcycle. Somers was pronounced dead at the scene and later removed by undertakers, while his son, sustaining multiple injuries, was rushed to Savanna-la-Mar Public General Hospital by Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) members. The son remains in critical condition.
Fortunately, the driver of the BMW, the sole occupant of the vehicle, reported no injuries to the police.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
