WESTERN BUREAU:

A motor vehicle collision along the Great River main road in Hanover yesterday resulted in the death of at least two persons and the injury of four others, when four vehicles collided.

Dead are Anthony Dellop, 32-year-old lifeguard, employed to the Doctor's Cave Bathing Club and a resident of Johns Hall, St. James, and Hyacinth Renton-Spence, 47-year-old administrative assistant, employed to the National Works Agency, Montego Bay, and a resident of Hopewell, Hanover.

Up to press time yesterday, police were only able to ascertain the names of some of the injured persons. They are Sarah Tucker, 20, of Hopewell, Hanover; Damian Crichton, of Johns Hall, St. James; Eric Frame, a mason of Bachelor's Hall, Lucea, Hanover; a man known as only as Fitzroy, carpenter, also of Johns Hall, and a man identified only as 'Brown Man', whose address could not be ascertained up to late yesterday.

Tucker sustained a broken hand while Crichton suffered a broken leg and bones. The others were not considered serious.

Overtaking traffic

However, Peter Dawkins, one of the drivers involved in the accident, gave an account: "I was travelling towards Montego Bay when the Honda Civic overtook a line of traffic, slammed into the side of my car, drifted across the road and collided with an oncoming Toyota Corolla, and two other vehicles were hit in the process."

According to the police, at about 7:40 a.m. a Honda Civic motor car being driven by Damian Crichton was overtaking a line of traffic when it collided with a Toyota Corolla in which Mrs. Renton-Spence was travelling. Mr. Dellop and Ms. Tucker were passengers in Crichton's car.
