Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
PHILIPSBURG--The trapped driver of a white Toyota Corolla had to be cut out of his vehicle, which was involved in a terrible accident on A.J.C. Brouwer Road near Harold Jack lookout point mid-evening Friday.
It is unclear how the collision between the Corolla and a sports utility vehicle (SUV) occurred, but police spokesperson Chief Inspector Ricardo Henson told The Daily Herald on Sunday that the impact had been quite severe. Henson said he did not have all the details of the accident on hand, as the report of the incident had not yet been filed by the Traffic Department.
The accident led to the closure of A.J.C. Brouwer Road, which resulted in traffic backing up in the surrounding areas for a lengthy period and being diverted. Henson said the road closure had been to enable authorities to cut out the person trapped in the vehicle and to allow officers to investigate the accident.
The total number of occupants in the vehicles involved in the accident could not be ascertained. However, Henson said he believed one or two persons had been injured, although the extent of the injuries was unclear.
The vehicles had to be towed from the scene.
