Two young men in Grand Turk, are lucky to have escaped with their lives when the vehicles they were driving in, received extensive damages over the weekend.
The first accident occurred during the early hours of Saturday morning when Roderick Williams was driving one of GQ jeeps south along Lighthouse Road, when according to a couple of persons who witnessed the accident, Williams tried to veer away from an oncoming vehicle travelling in the opposite direction which had overtaken another vehicle, also traveling in the opposite direction.
Our sources tell RTC News that in order for Williams to avoid a head-on collision, he veered to his left and lost control of the vehicle, which came to rest atop of one of the flower-beds next to Cool Beans.
The other accident occurred during the early hours of Sunday morning when Kevino Smith allegedly hit a pole in the vicinity of Morris Cottingham, spun out of control and hit another pole before the pile of broken and twisted metal came to rest opposite the Cottingham offices at Hibiscus Square.
Friends and families of Smith, as well as hospital officials say the outcome for this youth could very well have had a different ending.
Both Roderick Williams and Kevino Smith are said to have sustained non-life threatening injuries and were taken to the Cockburn Town Medical Centre.
Meanwhile, both vehicles are said to have received extensive damages.
Police are continuing their investigations.
