A 24-year-old footballer died from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident along a section of the Lysson district, St. Thomas, on Thursday.
He has been identified as Shamar Murray, a businessman from Danvers Pen in the parish of St. Thomas.
Reports are that around 9:00 PM, Murray and another man were traveling in a Toyota Hiace minibus along the Lysson main road towards Morant Bay when the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a wall.
Murray became trapped in the vehicle, which immediately erupted in flames, while the driver managed to escape with injuries.
Murray was later removed from the burnt wreckage, and his charred remains were taken to the morgue. The driver was taken to the hospital and treated.
