A 14-year-old boy died in a single-vehicle crash on the New Road main road in Clarendon on Sunday evening.
The deceased has been identified as Jaden Smith of Crawl River, Clarendon.
The incident occurred about 6:30 p.m., some 800 metres south of the Cocoa Piece main road.
It's reported that Jaden was a passenger in a Nissan Sunny motor car that was being driven by his father at excess speed in a southerly direction.
On reaching a section of the New Road main road, the driver lost control of the vehicle, which rolled and spun 180 degrees, coming to a rest in a northerly direction.
Jaden and his father were transported to hospital where the teenager died.
Up to Sunday, Jamaica recorded 346 fatalities from 302 crashes since the start of the year.
