The death toll from Tuesday evening's motor vehicle crash on the Llandovery Main Road in St. Ann has increased to four.
The driver of the car, 21 year old Michael Glassgow, succumbed to his injuries Wednesday afternoon.
The other three: 22 year old Eric Forbes, 24 year old Jahnor Powell and Teisha Douglas, who were employees of the Grand Bahia Principe Hotel, died shortly after the crash.
Shortly after 7 o'clock, the employees left work in a Honda Civic. The vehicle later collided with a truck and hit a parked taxi.
Two of the Bahia workers died on the scene, while the third had succumbed to his injuries at hospital.
Decisive action
Meanwhile, in the wake of Tuesday night's motor vehicle crash on the Llandovery main road in St. Ann which claimed the lives of four people, a Member of Parliament is calling for decisive action to deal with road fatalities.
Dayton Campbell, Member of Parliament for St. Ann North Western, raised the issue Wednesday afternoon during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate.
"We have to come together in a serious way to do something about our roadways to ensure that we protect the lives of our citizens. There are certain main roads that are repeat offenders and I believe that we have to sit and look at those and come up with workable solutions to prevent any recurrence of these tragedies," he asserted.
He encouraged the people to also play a role to ensure that they are responsible on the roadways.
