The body of an American man was cut in half and six others seriously injured in a motor vehicle crash along the Point Hill main road leading to Hopewell in Hanover on Friday afternoon.
The deceased has been identified as James Martinez, of a Georgia address in the United States.
It is reported that about 4:45 p.m., Martinez and two other Americans were travelling westerly in a Toyota Crown motor car.
On reaching a section of the Point Hill main road, Martinez reportedly lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a blue Isuzu motor truck which was travelling in the opposite direction.
Martinez died on the spot.
The two other Americans and four occupants of the motor truck, including the driver, were rushed to hospital where they were admitted in serious condition.
