On Friday at Brown’s Town, St. Ann, a 20-year-old motorcyclist died from injuries he received in a collision with a truck.
Quami Howlet, a worker from Philadelphia who works in Brown’s Town, has been recognized as him.
According to the police, Howlet was operating a Hi-Rev motorcycle when he collided with Leonard Wilson of Minard Heights, St. Ann, driving a white Forward Isuzu pickup truck.
Around 8:30 am, according to the police, the motorcycle rider passed a line of cars at a corner and struck the pickup truck. After Howlet was taken to the hospital and declared dead, the police were called to the scene.
Brown’s Town resident Deandre Allen, who claimed to have known Howlet, expressed sorrow upon hearing the news.
Unfortunately, this happened to me as a young person who grew up peacefully and well; he never passed me by or called me “hello,” the man from the box truck and marble days. “To a true G, RIP,” Allen murmured.
He advised drivers to exercise caution.
You know when your time is up, but you have to do everything within your power to prolong your life. I don’t know what actually happened; I simply heard that he met in the crash and lost his life, but this just goes to illustrate that men should always exercise caution when driving on tarmac.
Even though he did not know the deceased, Andrew McBean, a public transportation driver who runs the Ocho Rios to Brown’s Town route, said he is nevertheless disturbed by the occurrence.
According to McBean, the crash may have involved him or any other operator of public transportation that passes through that area.
He urged locals to drive very carefully in St. Ann, particularly on uncharted territory.
“I always tell them that St. Ann is a crash-prone parish, so be careful when travelling through it. If you don’t know the route, don’t even consider speeding or passing.” “I’m not sure about the specifics of this crash, but it’s heartbreaking to see a young person die in that way,” he remarked.
As of Friday, October 4, 279 people had lost their lives while travelling around the country, according to the Road Safety Unit.
