PRIME MINISTER Freundel Stuart has expressed deepest sympathy on behalf of the Government and people of Barbados to his Vincentian counterpart Dr Ralph Gonsalves.

The letter comes on the occasion of the tragic loss of life of three young women from St Vincent and the Grenadines, in a two-vehicle crash which occurred in Barbados on Sunday.

Stuart said in the letter:  “Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, and I should be grateful if you would convey our sincere condolences to them.”

The Prime Minister added he had been informed they were students in the Technical Division of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Community College and were scheduled to leave Barbados on the same day of the fatal accident, after an internship at the Crane Resort.

The accident also claimed the life of Barbadian Andre Gittens, an employee of the hotel. (BGIS)
