A 40-year-old woman drowned while hiking near the Madamas River on Saturday. She has been identified as Jessica Jordan, of Manahambre Road, Ste Madeleine, San Fernando.
Reports indicate that Jordan was hiking with a group of about ten people near the Madamas Waterfall in Brasso Seco, Paria, when she slipped while walking through knee-high water.
Her legs reportedly became trapped between two logs and, despite efforts to free her, she was submerged in rising water caused to intensifying rainfall, as others were forced to retreat to safety.
