Tragedy struck on the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway overnight as four people, including a young child, died in a crash near the Claxton Bay Flyover. The victims include two women, a man, and a little girl, were all pronounced dead at the scene.

The vehicle, a Hyundai Creta, veered off the southbound lane and flipped multiple times before landing in nearby bushes. A fifth occupant, a woman, was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital. Her condition is still unknown.
