JA ACCIDENT CLAIMS 3 WOMEN FROM USA

On Wednesday January 2, 2013, three women were killed in a motor vehicle collision in Trelawny. They are 76-year-old Gloria Capleton, a nurse’s aid of Brooklyn, New York , 53-year-old Claudette Grant, a nurse and 34-year-old Vanessa Brown, a counsellor, both of Marlborough, Maryland addresses, also in the US. The women were killed about 11 o’ clock after the car they were traveling in crashed into a Toyota Coaster bus. They, along with the driver and a male passenger, were heading to a resort in Montego Bay as part of the final leg of their vacation on the island that started just days before Christmas Day, when they arrived. According to the police, their Nissan Tida motor car was going towards Falmouth. The driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle which then skidded, spun and then slammed into the back of a Toyota Coaster bus. The police say the road was wet at the time of the crash. The police say the driver of the car was admitted in hospital in stable condition. They say the other male passenger in the car was treated and released. Passengers in the bus who received minor injuries were also treated and released. On Friday January 4, 2013, the police charged 27-year-old Dwight Harrison with three counts of causing death by dangerous driving in connection with the deaths of the three women. Harrison, who is reportedly related to the three, was offered bail by the Court in the sum of $1 million dollars and will return to Court on April 15.
