THE LATEST ACCIDENT along Edgehill, St Thomas, has left some residents counting their lucky stars and one with a sleepless night.

Shortly after 2 a.m on Sunday, people living in an apartment complex near the bend of the steep slope were rudely awakened when a minibus crashed into the building.

It is understood three of the six passengers reported injuries and were taken by ambulance to hospital. The minibus was reportedly coming from a bus crawl when the brakes apparently failed.

Up to press time police reports were not forthcoming, but some eyewitnesses said the minibus flipped at least once after striking a utility pole, before coming to rest outside the bedroom of a tenant, who recounted her experience.

“I was sleeping and then I heard a funny noise, then a crash and the building shook. That got me right up out my bed. I made sure everybody was good and then I called the police,” she said. (CA)
