Woman killed in Trelawny crash
TRELAWNY, Jamaica — A woman is dead following a motor vehicle crash along the Salt Marsh main road in Trelawny Monday evening.
She has been identified as Christine Sharpe, of a Westmoreland address. Sharpe died when a Toyota Hiace slammed into the Toyota Corolla she was driving.
Eyewitness reports allege that the driver of the Toyota Hiace was in the process of overtaking a number of vehicles that had stopped to allow Sharpe access to the roadway.

She was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.
