A TEENAGER of Lima Sands, Region Two, lost his life tragically on Sunday morning, when he reportedly lost control of the car he was driving and crashed into an electrical pole along the Bush Lot Public Road.

Dead is Mario Adams, whose car subsequently caught fire after crashing into the electrical pole.

Adams was accompanied by three persons, who were taken out of the vehicle by public-spirited persons.

Two of the occupants were identified as 32-year-old Troy Ross of La Belle Alliance, and 21-year-old Dean Cortman of Lima Sands, while the other person fled the scene.

The occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, were taken to the Suddie Hospital where they were examined by doctors on duty. Adams was, however, pronounced dead on arrival. Ross and Cortman were admitted to the hospital and were being treated for injuries they suffered.

“We heard the loud impact and then rush out and the guys was lying helplessly… we tried helping them,” a resident said.
