Two people were killed in a violent head-on collision along the Mc Bean stretch of the Southern Main Road, in the area of Beucarro Village, Central Trinidad, late Monday night.

The crash, which occurred shortly before midnight, involved at least four vehicles and was so severe that the front sections of two of the cars were completely destroyed.

Images from the scene showed a Nissan Tiida off the roadway in nearby bushes, while a Mazda 3 remained on the road with extensive front-end damage. The mangled body of a man was seen lying on the roadway near the wreckage.
