(Jamaica Observer) CONTENT, St James — Up to yesterday, a thick cloud of gloom cloaked this quiet community which has been rocked by news that one of their own, his two daughters and their mother died in a four-vehicle collision near the Falmouth overhead bypass bridge in Trelawny, Monday night.
The four were reportedly returning from the annual Easter motor-racing event at Dover in St Ann when the crash occurred. The police have given the names of the deceased as 32-year-old farmer Rodney Drummond of Content, Adelphi, St James; 33-year-old hotel worker Tanisha Small of Hopewell, Hanover; and their two daughters Tia and Ranisha Drummond, five and eight years old respectively.
Yesterday, six of the several other crash victims who were rushed to the nearby Falmouth Public Hospital for treatment remained hospitalised. However, the state of their injuries is not immediately known.
Police report that the four who died were in a Nissan motor car driven by Drummond and heading in the direction of Montego Bay.
According to the police, about 7:50 pm Drummond was attempting to overtake a line of traffic and collided into a Toyota Fortuner travelling in the opposite direction.
