Re: Newspaper Vendor Vs. Garbage Truck
July 2008: A pregnant woman was killed and three other women injured in a motor vehicle collision which occurred on Hagley Road, Kingston 10 on the morning of July 4th, 2008. The dead woman has been identified as 49 year-old Desrine Irving, a newspaper vendor of Maxfield Avenue, Kingston 10 while injured are 46-year old Allison Burke, Effana Swaby,25, and Tamara Simpson, 19, all of Portmore, St. Catherine addresses. According to information garnered by the CCN about 6:40 a.m., a Leyland garbage truck registered CG 2054 driven by Aston Williams of a Kingston address was travelling along Hagley Park Road, heading towards Half Way Tree. On reaching a section of the road, the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle and collided with a Toyota Tacoma which was travelling in the same direction. The impact caused the Tacoma to slam into a Honda motor car which was also heading for Half Way Tree. The four women who were standing on the sidewalk were hit by the Leyland truck. Miss Irving died on the spot while the others were taken to the Kingston Public Hospital where they were admitted in serious condition. The Half Way Tree Traffic Police are investigating. |
