Westmoreland, St James, has been the scene of carnage on numerous occasions, causing the Ministry of Transport and Works to be galvanised into action to implement safety measures. The WEEKEND NATION spoke to two residents, Sandra Clinton and Bridgett Griffith, who gave heart-breaking testimonies of fatal accidents.
SANDRA CLINTON will never be the same. On far too many occasions, the 58-year-old has been awoken from sleep by the spine-chilling sound of car brakes squealing only to stumble and struggle to get outside to see what fresh hell awaited her eyes.
Sometimes she is so shaken that she can barely dial the numbers for the Ambulance Service.
Clinton’s story is one filled with pain, death and scenes she will never forget.
“I am constantly getting up in the night to rescue people. I saw three accidents in one evening; the police were investigating one car and another car ran into the first car under investigation,” she said. (CA)
