2 IN FIERY CRASH STILL NOT IDENTIFIED

NO ONE HAS COME FORWARD TO ID DRIVERS

Up to late Sunday, January 14, the two males killed in a fiery crash near Runaway Bay, St Ann, Friday had still not been identified.

When North Coast Times checked Sunday evening, police at the Constabulary Communications Unit (CCU) said the men had still not been identified.

The badly burned bodies of two men were removed from the scene of the crash at Pear Tree Bottom, close to Bahia Principe Hotel, after fire fighters put out fires that burned two cars in the four-vehicle crash.

Reports are that a Montego Bay-bound tour bus overtook a line of traffic and collided with a BMW X6 and a Toyota Mark X. The two luxury vehicles burst into flames as the bus ran off the road. Another vehicle, a Toyota Hilux , was also hit and badly damaged.

Police believe the Mark X and the BMW X6 were traveling together from Trelawny. The driver of one was thrown from the vehicle which fell on top of him and the driver of the other was burnt inside the vehicle.

Their deaths brought to three the number of people killed on the roads up to Friday. On Wednesday night, January 10, a man was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Drax Hall. He has not been identified and the killer vehicle and driver were not known to police.
