Mayor of Mandeville Donovan Mitchell has reiterated calls for motorists to exercise caution while traversing the Spur Tree Hill Main Road in Manchester following yesterday’s 3 vehicle crash.

Reports are that about 8:30 am, 3 trucks were being driven in the same direction along the roadway.

Further reports are that a box truck transporting beverages crashed into the back of another box truck and that truck then collided with the rear of a petroleum tanker.

The driver one of the box trucks was pinned inside, and it took fire fighters about 2 hours to remove him.

The crash caused traffic to be at a standstill for several hours.

Mayor Mitchell expressed hope that the government will follow through on plans for a by-pass road, with the extension of Highway 2000.

He also called on the police to carry out more spot checks along Spur Tree Hill road.
