Truck driver hospitalised following Mandeville crash

MANCHESTER, Jamaica — A truck driver has been hospitalised following a two-vehicle crash on the Winston Jones Highway in Mandeville on Thursday night.

The crash involved a tractor-trailer and a box truck.

Preliminary reports suggest that the crash happened shortly after 8:00 pm. It is unclear as to the cause of the accident. The impact caused the tractor- trailer to go partially off-road. Trees stopped the heavy unit from going over a precipice. The box truck was extensively damaged.

OBSERVER ONLINE sources said the driver of the mangled box truck was taken to hospital while the driver of the tractor- trailer escaped serious injuries.

The crash has resulted in a periodic pile-up of traffic on the usually busy roadway.
