Two police officers remain in critical condition following Monday's crash on the Linstead bypass, in which a fellow officer as well as controversial religious leader Kevin Smith died.
Corporal Rohan James, Chairman of the Police Federation, told Radio Jamaica News the officers have undergone surgery and are "responding favourably to treatment".
Constable Orlando Irons, who was attached to the St. James police division, was killed in the crash.
The officers had been transporting Kevin Smith, the leader of Pathways International Kingdom Restoration Ministries, from Montego Bay to Kingston when the crash occurred.
Smith had been arrested on Sunday, October 17 following what appeared to be a human sacrifice ritual at his organisation in which the throats of two people were slashed.
A third member of the religious group died after engaging the police in a gun battle when they entered the premises after being alerted that the ritual was taking place.
