WATCH: Students stranded in Sav as cabbies protest

WESTMORELAND, Jamaica – Scores of students from Frome Technical and Grange Hill high schools were left stranded Monday morning in Savanna-la-Mar, and were seen returning home, after taxi operators that ply the Savanna-la-Mar to Grange Hill to Burnt Savannah route decided to withdraw their services in protest of poor road condition.

OBSERVER ONLINE understands that cabbies have mounted a round blocked at Toll Gate in the parish.

More details to come.
