Two young men died, and an­oth­er was in­jured af­ter a car crashed in­to a light pole fol­low­ing an at­tempt to speed past a po­lice road­block in Pointe-a-Pierre on Mon­day night.

The de­ceased have been iden­ti­fied as 16-year-old Ke­li­ta Ja­mal King of Bat­too Boule­vard, Mara­bel­la, and Trey Col­ly­more of Har­mo­ny Hall, Mara­bel­la.

Around 9:40 pm, of­fi­cers from the Mara­bel­la Po­lice Sta­tion were con­duct­ing a road traf­fic ex­er­cise along the South­ern Main Road near Trop­i­cal Plaza. They at­tempt­ed to stop a red Nis­san Ti­i­da, which sped past them. The of­fi­cers pur­sued the ve­hi­cle, which veered off the road and crashed in­to a light pole near Flower Pot Beach.

Po­lice re­port­ed that the three oc­cu­pants were pinned in the back seat. Fire of­fi­cers from the Mon Re­pos Fire Sta­tion re­spond­ed and used the jaws of life to ex­tri­cate them.

King died at the scene, while Col­ly­more suc­cumbed to his in­juries at the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal. The third pas­sen­ger, Joel Yarde, 16, of Bat­too Av­enue, Mara­bel­la, re­mains hos­pi­talised in sta­ble con­di­tion.
