All sev­en peo­ple in­jured in a vi­o­lent crash along Mil­ford Road, Lam­beau, To­ba­go are now in sta­ble con­di­tion. Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent Earl Elie con­firmed to Guardian Me­dia that the vic­tims, in­clud­ing four teenagers, are re­ceiv­ing treat­ment at the Scar­bor­ough Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal and their con­di­tions have im­proved.

The crash oc­curred when a car dri­ven by a teenag­er head­ing east over­took a line of ve­hi­cles and lost con­trol. The ve­hi­cle col­lid­ed head-on with an­oth­er car trav­el­ling in the op­po­site di­rec­tion. Both ve­hi­cles were ex­ten­sive­ly dam­aged.

The teenage dri­ver and his pas­sen­gers—Ja­cob Cox, 17, Joseph Cox, 19, and Jor­dan Williams, 19—were se­ri­ous­ly in­jured. The dri­ver of the sec­ond car, Lav­ern Tim­o­thy of Low­lands, and her pas­sen­gers—Denise Math­ews-Win­ches­ter, Cristal Cros­by, and Javon Hamil­ton—were al­so hurt.

Fire of­fi­cers used the jaws of life to free one of the vic­tims from the wreck­age. Am­bu­lances trans­port­ed all sev­en to hos­pi­tal, where they were ini­tial­ly list­ed in crit­i­cal con­di­tion. Po­lice say in­quiries are on­go­ing.
