Four people are dead, including a nurse, following a three vehicle collision on the Bull Point main road in Ocho Rios, St Ann early Saturday morning.
The crash, which occurred about 2:30 in the vicinity of the Ocho Rios fishing village, involved two Mercedes Benz motor cars and a Toyota Vitz car.
The police say the victims, three males and a female, were travelling in the Toyota Vitz. They have not yet been identified.
The police are now searching for the drivers and passengers from the two high-end vehicles, who reportedly fled the scene after hastily removing demonstration plates that were affixed to them, among other items.
It's reported that the two black C43 Mercedes Benz motorcars, with no registration plates affixed, were traveling in a westerly direction along the Bull Point main road at very high speeds, when one of the drivers attempted to overtake the other, venturing into the path of the Toyota Vitz motorcar that was traveling in the opposite direction.
The overtaking Mercedes Benz collided into the left front section of the Toyota Vitz, forcing it into the right lane where the other Mercedes Benz collided into its left side, causing significant damage to all three vehicles.
Four critically wounded persons from the Vitz were transported to St. Ann's Bay Hospital where they were pronounced.
The nurse, who was the driver of the Vitz, had to be removed from the vehicle by fire fighters from the Ocho Rios station.
The police also suspect that persons from the high-end vehicles were seriously injured in the crash.
Saturday's crash comes one week after a triple fatal incident on the Salem main road in Runaway Bay.
