Minor injuries as car, ZR collide

AN ACCIDENT BETWEEN a public service vehicle and a car caused minor disruption along John Beckles Drive, The City, this morning.

ZR 217, which was on its way to the River Terminal, and the car, headed towards the junction with River Road, collided around 9:10 a.m.

According to police, four schoolchildren – ages 12 to 17 – and the conductor received minor injuries. They complained for minor pains about the body but opted to seek private medical attention.

The ZR was being driven by Alex Maynard, 30, of Bruce Vale, St Andrew, and the car by Andrew Harte, 26, of College Savanah, St John.

One of the passengers who was sitting in front of the van at the side where it was struck, said he had to pull his leg from the damaged side of the vehicle, but “nothing ain’t really serious, I good”. (YB/PR)
