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.

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.
