Two J’cans killed in US crash, 3 injured

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Two Jamaicans died and four others were injured in a crash in the US State of Missouri over the weekend.

They have been identified as 56-year-old Vanzola Warren and 48-year-old Pansy Green-Whyte, both of St Elizabeth, Jamaica.

According to US media reports, the single-vehicle crash happened at the 34.2-mile marker on Interstate 55, in the northbound lanes.

The driver of the vehicle is from Florida, while the other three injured people are also reported to be Jamaicans.

Reports are that the vehicle’s tire blew out, which forced it to the right side of the road where it overturned.
