CLARENDON, Jamaica— Mayor of May Pen Joel Williams is seeking to set the record straight after a two-year-old video resurfaced on social media causing panic and chaos among some residents.

The 2-minutes 27-seconds video shows several motorists trapped in flood waters in a section of the May Pen Woods, which is the main road linking May Pen to New Longville and other communities further north.

“I am very concerned about a video that I saw and have shared with the minister (Robert Morgan) that exists from 2022 purporting to be the day before yesterday (Wednesday) and I’m asking persons who are doing things like those to desist from misleading the public,” Williams said.

Mayor Williams said it was important to set the record straight pointing out that the video had nothing to do with the happenings over the last three days.

He said  May Pen Woods is currently not flooded adding that traffic is moving freely along the corridor.

“We did some major work there on Labour Day in terms of cleaning but because we don’t get the support so you clean one day and then they dump the other day,” the mayor added.
