Law enforcement officers assigned to the St Ann Traffic Department are investigating a three-vehicle collision that claimed the lives of three boys and a 17-year-old girl along Dacosta Drive, Ocho Rios, in the parish on Saturday, October 31. The deceased are: •17-year-old Shantana Leonard of Cardiff Hall, Runaway Bay, St Ann. •16-year-old Kenneil Lyle of Mansfield Heights, Ocho Rios, St Ann. •16-year-old Marcodine Maxwell, of Mansfield Heights, Ocho Rios, St Ann. •15-year-old Rajani Abdul of Mansfield Heights, Ocho Rios, St Ann. Reports from the St Ann’s Bay Police are that at about 2:30 a.m., two black C43 Mercedes-Benz motorcars were travelling in a westerly direction. It is reported that one of the vehicles attempted to overtake the other, causing it to veer into the path of a Toyota Vitz motorcar travelling in the opposite direction. Shantana drove the Toyota Vitz, with Kenneil, Marcodine, and Rajani as passengers. The overtaking Mercedes-Benz allegedly collided with the left side of the Toyota Vitz, forcing it into the right lane, where it collided with the other Mercedes-Benz. It is reported that the drivers of both Mercedes-Benz vehicles removed the licence plates and fled the scene. The police were alerted, and the occupants of the Toyota Vitz were assisted to the hospital, where all four succumbed to their injuries. The police are appealing to anyone with information that can help identify the drivers of the Mercedes-Benz motorcars, or with any other information, to contact the St Ann’s Bay Police at 876-872-7523, the police emergency number 119, or the nearest police station.
