St Maarten: Road accident claims life of man and four-year-old girl
St Maarten is mourning the loss of two lives following a serious collision on Union Road on Monday night.
The deceased are a four-year-old girl and a man in different vehicles. The woman driver of the car with the little girl was in critical condition in the St Maarten Medical Center (SMMC).
A preliminary investigation into the fatal accident found that a woman driving a black Kia Forte overtook another vehicle heading toward Philipsburg. This happened simultaneously when a grey Suzuki Vitara came from the opposite direction, resulting in the collision.
The two drivers and the child were extricated from the car wreckage by Fire Department personnel using the jaws of life. All three were rushed to the SMMC in critical condition.
The little girl and the driver of the Grey Vitara later died at the hospital due to their injuries.
The Sint Maarten Police Force has expressed its condolences to the families of the deceased.
