Search ongoing for St Catherine pair washed away by flood waters in Rafael

ST CATHERINE, Jamaica – Police say a search is still underway for two people who were reportedly swept away by flood waters in St Catherine on Tuesday. The pair were reportedly travelling in a motor car when they experienced difficulties traversing rising waters as heavy rains lashed the island from Tropical Storm Rafael.

According to police, up to early Thursday morning the vehicle hadn’t been located. Lawmen however, said they recovered a pair of crocs they believe belonged to one of the missing persons as well as a spare tire.

More details to follow.
