Police Road Safety Officer Brent Batson has described as “disturbing” the early morning crash on the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway that claimed two lives.
The accident involved a Public Transport Service Corporation (PTSC) bus and a truck on Tuesday morning.
Speaking to TTT News, Mr Batson confirmed that there were two fatalities – the driver of the PTSC bus and a passenger on board.
Following this incident, he urged motorists to be extra vigilant on the nation’s roads.
“It’s disturbing because to have these types of incidents occurring on a Tuesday morning, that’s a bit of an anomaly from our data standpoint. But it also goes to show just how quickly, you know, accidents can occur on a roadway and why it’s so important for us to always be attentive as motorists to what’s happening around us.”
