Three Vincentian Teens Among Four Killed In Accident In Barbados

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Jan 29 2017 – Four people — including a Barbadian male and three Vincentian women —  have lost their lives in a fatal collision involving a taxi and a private motor car, along the Graeme Hall, Section of the ABC Highway around 3 a.m. today.

Police are yet to release the names of the victims. However, counted among the dead are the 23-year-old Barbadian male driver of the white Mitsubishi  Lancer and his three female passengers ages 17, 18 and 19.

The three dead women, who were interns at the Crane Resort in St Philip, were due to leave the island today.

Two Vincentian males — ages 18 and 21 — were also passengers in the car at the time of the accident.

They were rushed to hospital by ambulance, along with the 52-year-old driver of the champagne colour Toyota Noah.

Based on their preliminary investigations, lawmen say there were at least three passengers in the taxi at the time of the accident. However, those survivors apparently left the scene.

Lawmen are therefore appealing to them and anyone else with information on the deadly collision to come forward. (Barbados TODAY)
