The 17 students who were injured in a crash along the Holland Bamboo Main Road in St. Elizabeth yesterday, have been released from hospital and are said to be recovering well.

14 females from Hampton High and three males from Munro College sustained injuries when a Toyota Noah collided with the coaster bus in which they were travelling.

They were taken to the Black River Hospital and treated.

All students were released to their parents last evening.

Speaking with IRIE FM News, Principal of Hampton High Mahvell Charlton-Brown said one of her students sustained a greater degree of injuries than the others.

She said four students, who had Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) exams yesterday, sat them at the hospital.

Mrs. Charlton-Brown said special arrangements have been made to facilitate those who have exams today.
