A St. Catherine truck driver has pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and is to be sentenced on March 27.
The driver, 29-year-old Maurice Baker, pleaded guilty when he appeared before the St. Catherine Circuit Court on Monday morning.
Baker was charged following a collision in Angels, St. Catherine, in which two people, Rickisha White and Rickacya Garrison were killed.
Baker pleaded guilty after the defence and Crown conferred with the judge.
Justice Bertram Morrison then extended Baker's bail and ordered that a social enquiry report be conducted.
It was reported that on February 27, 2023, about 3:35 p.m., Baker was driving an Isuzu motor truck along Walks Road when he lost control of the truck, which drifted into the path of a Toyota Probox motor car.
The impact resulted in the deaths of White and Garrison and the injury of others.
An investigation was conducted which resulted in Baker being charged.
