Three men were killed and two other people seriously injured in a two-vehicle collision along the Salem main road in Runaway Bay, St Ann, on Saturday night, October 24.
The crash occurred about 11:30 p.m. near the KFC outlet and involved a Toyota Corolla and a Toyota Axio.
Two of the deceased have been identified as 31-year-old Kemar Nugent and 29-year-old Chevalier Christie, both of Salem. The third man’s identity had not been disclosed.
According to police reports, Christie was driving the Corolla with three passengers aboard when he attempted to turn right into the KFC entrance. The Axio, which was travelling in the opposite direction, struck the right side of the Corolla.
Five people were taken to St Ann’s Bay Regional Hospital, where the three men were pronounced dead. The two survivors were admitted in serious condition.
A preliminary police report listed excessive speeding, insufficient regard for road conditions, an apparent error of judgment and turning right without due care as possible contributing factors.
Police data showed that 281 people had died in 241 fatal collisions nationwide since the start of the year. Road deaths were reportedly down 12 per cent, while fatal collisions declined by 37 per cent compared with the corresponding period last year.
