Member of Parliament for Central Westmoreland George Wright is urging young motor cyclists to take the necessary precautions on the road and not engage in reckless actions.

Mr. Wright’s plea follows several traffic crashes in Westmoreland since the start of the year.

Five people died in one crash, while three teenagers died in separate crashes in recent weeks.

In the meantime, the MP said work is being done on several roads in a bid to improve road conditions.

He was making his contribution to the constituency debate in parliament yesterday (November 29).
