Tashanti Jonesn Obituary, Death – Three individuals, including a 15-year-old female student, tragically lost their lives in a two-vehicle collision on the Salt Marsh main road in Trelawny on the morning of the incident. The deceased girl, Tashanti Jones, was a grade 10 student at Muschett High School. The identities of the two men who died in the crash have not yet been released, but reports indicate that one of them is Tashanti’s stepfather.
The collision occurred around 10:30 a.m. and involved a white Suzuki Grand Vitara and a black Toyota Wish. According to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Gary McKenzie, who heads the Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement Branch, the Suzuki was making a right turn when it was struck on the right side by the Toyota. The force of the impact caused the Suzuki to veer to the left, leading it off the road, while the Toyota collided with a wall.
Tashanti, her stepfather, and the driver of the Toyota Wish all sustained injuries from the crash and were later pronounced dead. Meanwhile, the female driver of the Suzuki was transported to the hospital for treatment.
The investigation into the accident is ongoing as authorities work to gather more details surrounding the circumstances of the crash and its aftermath.
