Two members of the Jamaica Defence Force were injured in a traffic collision along Harbour Street in downtown Kingston on Friday morning. Police confirmed that while both soldiers were hurt, no fatalities were reported.
The incident, which occurred during morning traffic, reportedly involved a military vehicle and another motor car. Videos circulating on social media show two individuals in uniform lying near the crash site — one positioned beside a stoplight pole while another sat upright on the sidewalk receiving assistance.
Authorities quickly responded to the scene, and traffic was temporarily disrupted as investigators examined the area and cleared debris. The cause of the crash has not yet been determined, and the Jamaica Defence Force is expected to issue a formal statement once internal reviews are complete.
The crash comes amid broader discussions about traffic safety and the handling of official vehicles in Kingston’s busy downtown district.
