Accident on bridge east of Port Antonio

Description

"This bridge just over a mile, east of Port Antonio is said to have demolished more cars, than any other bridge in Jamaica. Its latest victim was this NC 1009 owned by Martins Car-Rental, and driven by American tourist Marvin of 1298 N.W. 10th Avenue, Miami, Florida, who is vacationing at Trident Villas Hotel. Mr. Emory was returning to his hotel at about 7:45 am when his car crashed into the bridge. He was taken from the car and was then rushed to the Port Antonio Hospital in an unconscious condition. He later regained consciousness and is not said to be in a satisfactory condition."
