ST JAMES, Jamaica — Seven people, who were travelling in a public passenger vehicle, have been rushed to hospital with varying degrees of injuries, following a two-vehicle collision on the Rose Hall main road in St James on Thursday afternoon.
The collision, which occurred about 2:55 pm, involved a Toyota Voxy being used as a taxi and a truck.
