ROSE HALL, St James — Following Monday afternoon’s three-vehicle crash on the Rose Hall main road in St James which claimed the life of a female traffic control worker, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) of the Strategic Operations Portfolio Dr Gary McKenzie has underscored the importance of careful driving to ensure the safety of both road users and site workers.

Twenty-two-year-old Bianca Wallace, a flag woman employed on a pipe-laying project, died after sustaining injuries in a crash involving a Toyota Hiace being used as a public passenger vehicle, a Toyota Rush and a tractor. Several people, including students, were injured during the incident. One student reportedly sustained serious injuries to the legs.

Another motor vehicle crash was reported on the Rose Hall main road less than 24 hours after Monday’s fatal collision. The latest incident occurred shortly before 8:00 am Tuesday. No injuries were reported.
