Four men died in a collision involving two motor cars at the intersection of the Daniel Town main road and the North Coast Highway in Trelawny early this morning.
The men were the occupants of a Toyota Mark X that was heading towards Montego Bay, St James, says Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Gary McKenzie, the head of the police's Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement Branch.
The other car an Audi, was travelling in the opposite direction.
The incident happened about 2:15 a.m.
ACP McKenzie says following the collision, the Mark X crashed into guardrails on the road and was "seriously damaged".
He says the man and woman who were travelling in the Audi are being treated at hospital.
"The nature of the damage would suggest that the speed was above 50 kilometres per hour so the investigation as well as the reconstruction of the crash will determine the exact range or specific speeds of the vehicles," McKenzie told The Gleaner.
He says the speed limit heading towards the intersection is about 50 kilometres per hour.
McKenzie says the police are still on the scene and efforts are under way to officially identify the deceased men.
More details to come.
