A father and son were among three people killed at around 17:30 hrs yesterday after a truck laden with lumber and other materials overturned at Matthew’s Ridge in the North West District.
Sources identified two of the victims as Leon Abrams and his son, Trevor Abrams, both of Matthew’s Ridge.

Reports state that some of the passengers were pinned beneath the lumber and an all-terrain vehicle, which were in the truck at the time.
The vehicle is owned by an Arakaka  businessman.
Reports state that at least four other persons suffered injuries and were rushed to the Matthew’s Ridge Hospital.
