HANOVER, Jamaica — A 34-year-old truck driver is the latest victim of the two-vehicle crash on the Round Hill main road in Hanover last Friday which claimed the life of a US national.
The Corporate Communication Unit (CCU) of the Jamaica Constabulary Force confirmed that Wayne Johnson, of a Caymanas Country Club Estate address in St Catherine, succumbed to his injuries on Monday morning.
He had been driving an Isuzu motor truck when it collided with a car driven by a US national that had veered out of control.
It was previously reported that 44-year-old James Martinez, of Marietta in Georgia, USA, died from injuries he sustained in the collision.
Reports from the Sandy Bay Police are that about 6:00 pm, Martinez was driving a Toyota Crown motor car from Montego Bay, St James. Upon reaching a section of the roadway, he allegedly lost control of the vehicle and collided with the Isuzu motor truck driven by Johnson that was travelling in the opposite direction.
