BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE Traffic Department is again urging motorists to observe all traffic signs, as an accident involving a rented vehicle occurred last evening (Jun. 12) along the F. T. Williams Highway.
Thankfully, no one was seriously injured.
The Department informed that at about 9:45 p.m., Kajon Kayamba Paris of St. Peter’s was driving motorcar R416 westward along the road when he reportedly lost control and caused the vehicle to overturn.
The vehicle landed on its top and came to rest over a ditch in the vicinity of the St. Kitts and Nevis Defence Force at Camp Springfield.
Parris, the vehicle’s lone occupant, was taken to the Joseph N. France General Hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries. The vehicle, which the Department said is the property of Island Spice Car Rentals, appeared to be extensively damaged.
A representative of the Department told SKNVibes that quite a number of accidents have taken place along the F. T. Williams Highway.
“We are appealing to motorists to drive within the speed limit. We have noticed there have beena quite a number of accidents along the F. T. Williams Highway, some of which could have been avoided.
“Be careful when using the Federation’s streets and always ensure that you observe all traffic signs, which include speed limits signs, give-way signs etc. The life you save by observing these signs could be your own.”
