Joy-Ann Davis, a 23-year-old employee of the Bank of Nova Scotia, sustained injuries to her head and face, after the vehicle she was about to enter was struck from behind by another vehicle, at about 6pm last Monday evening.
According to a report from the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force Traffic Department, the tragedy unfolded when a Wrangler Jeep, P814, driven by 55-year-old Clayton Browne, of Edinboro, was changing lanes in the vicinity of the Centrex/Ministry of Transport etc, on Halifax Street.
The rear right wheel of the Jeep, on crossing from the northern to southern lane, reportedly struck the rear left wheel of a Honda vehicle, P5242, following which, Browne lost control of the Jeep.
The report says that Browne then struck a wall column at the Bank of Nova Scotia, before slamming into the back of the Mazda vehicle Davis was about to embark on the driverâs side.
It is reported that the impact propelled Davis and the vehicle that she was entering, then she was thrown on the sidewalk in the vicinity of the Singer building, when the Mazda came to a stop.
Davis was the only person suffering serious injuries in the smash-up, although all three vehicles were said to be badly damaged.
The Ratho Mill resident was flown to Barbados the day after the accident, but has since returned to St. Vincent and is said to be resting at home.
Investigations into the accident are continuing, and although Browne was taken into custody for preliminary enquiries, he was yet to be charged up to press time Wednesday afternoon.
