A Canadian family died in a car crash in Jamaica. On Wednesday around 6 a.m., a Canadian couple was rushing their child to hospital when their vehicle crashed into an oncoming truck.
According to the local authorities, Garina, 27, and Diane Dixon, 32, were driving with their two-year-old Nekeil from Willowdene to Spanish Town on the Caribbean island nation.
Reportedly, child’s grandmother, Marie Myrie-Phillips, was also travelling with them. All four occupants of a Toyota Corolla were pronounced dead in the hospital.
Kirk Abraham, a reporter with RJR Radio in Jamaica, said: “The crash was very horrendous. If you had seen the car – the car was a mangled wreck. There was no way for anybody to survive that car.
“He (driver of the truck) said he could do nothing. There was a car racing toward him and said there was nothing he could to do.”
Allegedly, the couple was driving along the old harbour main road to get their son, who had trouble breathing, to the Spanish Town Hospital. The father was driving the car. He overtook traffic and was hit by a truck travelling in the opposite direction.
According to the police, the Dixon family was from the Greater Toronto Area.
A spokesperson for Foreign Affairs Minister Diane Ablonczy said: “Our thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends of those killed in this tragic accident. We stand ready to provide consular assistance as required.”
