There was a two vehicle collision along the Carey Park main road in Trelawny earlier this morning.

Early reports are that there may have been fatalities.

However, police have not yet given details about the crash.

In the meantime, Vice Chairman of the National Road Safety Council Dr. Lucien Jones has reiterated his call for the demerit points system to maintain the decrease in road fatalities.

This as the island has recorded a 28 percent reduction in road fatalities for January compared to the same period last year.

Dr. Jones noted that the decrease in fatalities may be an indication that the country is back on track to having a 50% overall reduction.

Among the benefits of a reduction, he said it would reduce the burden being placed on the healthcare.
