18-y-o motorcyclist killed in St Elizabeth crash

ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica — An 18-year-old died as a result of injuries he sustained in a crash on the Ballard’s Valley main road in St Elizabeth early Saturday morning.

Police named the deceased as Jay Senior, a resident of Ballard’s Valley.

A police report said that about 1:00 am, Senior was driving a white Cobra motorcycle when he attempted to overtake a motor car and collided with a Honda CRV travelling in the opposite direction.

He was flung from the motorcycle upon impact. Senior was rushed to the Mandeville Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
