Six people are dead following a four-vehicle smash-up on the west-bound lane of the Churchill Roosevelt Highway near the Aranguez intersection last evening.

Early reports indicate that three cars and a 4x4 pick-up were involved in the accident. One car was mangled beyond recognition. The accident occurred around 7.20 pm, police said.

Police said dead are Aaron Ward of Woodbrook and Tilar Ayoung-Chee. Up to press time the four other dead persons were still unidentified. Police said one person died on the way to hospital. Another three persons were taken to hospital and said to be in serious condition.


Accident scene: Relatives of one of last night’s accident victims console each other

The dead bodies of five of the victims remained on the road for hours as police officers cordoned off a portion of the highway, awaiting the District Medical Officer.

The accident caused a massive traffic pile-up on both sides of the highway as commuters parked their vehicles and crowded the scene to view the accident.

One commuter said: “It was just terrible, the bodies were all over and some people could not stand to look.”
