A teenager was listed in critical condition up to late yesterday after she leapt off the Claxton Bay overpass and landed on the highway. Up to press time the police had not released the identity of the 18-year-old. As to what would have caused her to take such action, investigators said they did not know. The incident caused a long line-up of traffic along the Solomon Hochoy Highway.
Curious commuters even exited their vehicles to see what was happening. Police said the girl, who was standing near the Claxton Bay exit, jumped sometime after 3 pm. She landed on the northbound lane. She was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital where she was being treated late yesterday.
Investigations are continuing.
