Four escape serious injury at Mandeville crash hotspot
MANCHESTER, Jamaica — Four people narrowly escaped serious injury following a two-vehicle crash on the Winston Jones Highway in Mandeville on Tuesday.
The crash, which happened at 1:00 pm at the Marshall’s Pen intersection with the highway, involved a Honda CRV and a Suzuki Vitara.
One of the vehicles went off-road into a ditch.
A police source said that preliminary investigations suggest that the Honda motorcar was exiting Marshall’s Drive onto the highway when the collision occurred.
The crash-prone road has been the scene of numerous accidents over the years.
