However, police Thursday morning, April 4, confirmed three deaths.
Reports are that at about 8:30 p.m., three vehicles were travelling in an easterly direction along the Dunn’s River main road, near Laughing Waters, St. Ann. The driver of a White Range Rover which was proceeding in the opposite direction, toward the St. Ann’s Bay failed to keep left and collided with all three vehicles.
