BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - A pregnant woman and two primary school children were among five individuals taken to the JNF Hospital shortly before 8:00 a.m. this morning (Jul. 8) following a collision on the Island's Main Road to St. Peter's, which sent the vehicle they were travelling in some 85 feet into a bushy area.
SKNVibes spoke with Sergeant Amory of the Traffic Department, who said the accident took place at about 7:50 a.m. and had involved P9989 and PA35.
He informed that P9998 was travelling from the Shadwell roundabout to St. Peter’s while PA35 was exiting the entrance to Shadwell when the vehicles collided.
