A man died as a result of injuries he sustained when the driver of the motor vehicle in which he was travelling crashed after reportedly trying to avoid hitting a cow in Westmoreland early Wednesday morning.
The two other occupants of the vehicle also received injuries and were reportedly taken to hospital.
The deceased, who is the second person killed this week in a crash involving a cow, has been identified as 22-year-old Christopher Samuels of a Dalling Street, Savanna-la-Mar address in the parish.
Reports are that about 2:20am, Samuels was travelling in a Toyota Corolla Axio motor car on a section of the Little London main road when a cow reportedly walked into the path of the vehicle.
This resulted in the driver losing control of the vehicle and slamming into a tree.
The three occupants of the car received injuries and were taken to the Savanna-la-Mar Public General Hospital where Samuels was pronounced dead.
The Westmoreland police are investigating.
