Four injured in Eagle Hall accident

The RMF Bar and Rotisserie, popularly known as Mapps, in Eagle Hall, St Michael, will be closed for a few days as it was extensively damaged following a collision involving an ambulance and a truck on Tuesday afternoon.

Four people – two men from the truck, one person from the ambulance and one kitchen worker at Mapps – suffered non-life-threatening injuries when the vehicles crashed into the popular shop.

Police Sergeant Ryan Brathwaite said the Black Rock Station received the call about the accident around 2:20 p.m.

Kennedy Leacock, the owner of Mapps, told reporters the storeroom and the food preparation area were extensively damaged.

“It will have to be closed for a couple of days. We will try to get back up as soon as possible but what is most important is that no one lost their life today,” he said.

He disclosed that the employee injured her foot and was taken to the Sandy Crest Medical Centre for treatment. (BT)
