The police are probing a series of events which reportedly transpired in Mona, St Andrew, a short while ago, leaving one man dead and others, including a policeman, injured.

The deceased man is believed to have died from a suspected suicide.

A woman and a policeman are also hospitalised in serious condition.

It is reported that a woman and the now deceased man were travelling in a red Honda CRV when she jumped from the moving vehicle.

An off-duty policeman who was reportedly passing the incident stopped to assist.

The driver of the CRV reversed the vehicle mowing down the policeman as he assisted, The Gleaner understands.

A search was conducted and the driver was found hanging from a rope at a premises.

The police are now at the scene.
