Seven students were injured in an accident on Friday night along University Hill, St Michael.

Three males and four females, all students of the University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus, were walking along the road around 11:15 p.m. when they were involved in a collision.

George Marshall, 57, of Sturges, St Thomas was driving the van when he swerved to the opposite sidewalk and collided with the students, all foreign nationals, who were going back to the campus.

The students, who range in age from 17 to 21 years, complained of pains about the body. Five of them were transported by ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, while the other two sought private medical attention. (PR/SAT)
