A ST PHILIP FAMILY has been thrown into mourning following the death of one of its own in a four-vehicle smash-up last Saturday night.
The accident occurred between the Lowlands junction and the Henry Forde Roundabout at Newton, Christ Church, on the ABC Highway around 7:35 p.m.
Former Queen’s College student Vanzell Codrington, 29, of Kirtons No. 2, became the island’s first fatality for the year after succumbing to his injuries at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital early yesterday morning. He was heading towards The City when the collision occurred obliquely opposite Chickmont Foods.
Yesterday the family was too distraught to speak, but the DAILY NATION was able to ascertain that he had no children. (YB)
