Three children injured after being hit by boulder in St Elizabeth

ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica — Two schoolchildren remain hospitalised, with one being admitted at a Corporate Area facility and a third child was treated and released after a boulder fell on them while they were walking to school along a train track in Breadnut Walk in north-western St Elizabeth Friday morning.

Residents say the two badly injured children, ages nine  and 10 were among the trio walking to Merry Wood Primary along the train tracks when tragedy struck.

The route along the train tracks is used by residents of Breadnut Walk and Merry Wood to get to and from their homes as the community roads there are in a deplorable state.
