Two brothers died in a horrific four-vehicle collision on the Rose Hall main road in Montego Bay, St. James, last Thursday evening.
The brothers, who were both barbers working in the same barber shop on the Blue Diamond Plaza in Ironshore, have been identified as 25-year-old Kevon Mills, and 20-year-old Chadwick Robinson, both of Lilliput addresses in the parish. Mills reportedly would have celebrated his 26th birthday today, March 12, 2018.
Several other persons sustained injuries as a result of the accident.
According to information gleaned, both men were travelling in a grey Honda Civic motorcar along the Rose Hall main road in the direction of Lilliput, when on reaching the vicinity of Half Moon, the car reportedly got out of control and careened across the road, jumped the median and ended up in the path of an oncoming Toyota Hiace bus coming in the opposite direction, resulting in an impact that pinned both men in the car.
Another white Civic, which was travelling in the same direction as the brothers, also jumped the median, but luckily was stopped by a light pole. The single male that was travelling in that vehicle suffered injuries and was later transported to hospital.
The bus, after colliding with the Honda Civic, spun out of control and slammed into a Honda motorcar which was just behind it. Two persons travelling in the bus and the car were also taken to hospital.
The police, health response teams and the Fire Department, were called in and according to the team from the Ironshore Fire Station, both men had to be cut from the mangled wreck that the car had become. They further reported that they got the call about 7:47 p.m., and when they arrived on the scene, they found both men trapped in the vehicle. They quickly removed them using hydraulic equipment, but the wounds they suffered in the impact proved fatal.
The accident scene, which drew scores of curious onlookers, left persons traumatized as they cringed at the sight.
The incident also caused long delays for motorists as the extrication exercise and processing of the scene resulted in traffic being backed up from as far back as Ironshore in the west, to Barrett Town in the east.
Di amount a life accident tek a mobay nuh nawmal.
Fi real, and dat Rose Hall rd has seen a few of late. So sorry for the family and loved ones. Hope the injured make a speedy recovery.
Lillipiut, is a cursed place. Always get an uneasy feeling when I pass on the main road. So many people lose their lives on that little stretch of road and surrounding community. Don’t know why!
The shooting stop. But the blood sacrifice continues. The evil alters in that only thirst for blood. May the Lord help us all.
RIP brothers, this is sad. This poor family have to bury 2 at the same time, Mama I feel your pain. Lord please comfort and strengthen this family.
So sad! Sorry to hear about their untimely deaths.
SPEEDING IS THE CAUSE FOR SURE WHEN IT CROSSED THE MEDIAN IT CONTINUED BOTH CARS JUMPED THE MEDIAN, ITS LIKE A SUNT SOMETHING IF U SLEEPING, U MUST WAKE UP, THEY WERE SPEEDING AND ENDANGERED EVERYONE. WERE BOTH CARS RACING?? FATHER, IF THEM ONLY HARM THEMSELVES BUT THEY TEK IT TO OTHERS, ITS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR PINS TO PUT IN LIMBS, U CANT EVEN AFFORD FOOD LET ALONE PINS FOR LIMBS
SPEED AND HYPE
There is a sink on both parts of the road. One by Half Moon the other just as you pass Hyatt. If you dont remember them its easy to hit and loose control or even climb the median as they did, at even moderate speeds. Not saying they werent speeding but I have had to hold my steering after hitting the one heading towards mobay. I was under the limit so I can just imagine them speeding. The mere fact teo cars did the samething should raise red flags.
