Two persons are now dead, and at least nine others seriously injured after a bus transporting hotel workers ran into a parked truck along the Braco main road in Rio Bueno, Trelawny, on Saturday morning.

The police say the identities of both male victims are being withheld until they have been positively identified.

It is reported that about 4:20 a.m, the driver of the bus was transporting hotel workers from St Ann to Falmouth.

On reaching a section of the Braco main road, the driver lost control of the vehicle and collided with a parked cold storage truck.

The impact resulted in the driver and several passengers sustaining injuries and being rushed to the Falmouth Hospital, where two male passengers were pronounced dead.

The driver and other passengers remain hospitalised.
