The policeman who was injured in the crash in St Mary on Saturday has died.
Reports are that the police constable Adrian Pendley was driving a motorcycle in the Galina section of the parish when he reportedly collided with a motor vehicle.
He was rushed to the hospital where he was admitted. He later succumbed to his injuries on Monday. Sources report the 29-year-old police constable died just days before his birthday on April 17.
The Jamaica Police Federation has since extended condolences to the family of the late policeman.
“It is with deep regret that we mourn the tragic passing of No. 15519 Cons Adrian Pendley of the St Mary Division, who succumbed to injuries sustained from a motor vehicle accident while on duty, on Saturday, April 8,” the release from the police federation stated.
“His tragic and untimely passing has left us in deep mourning. Sincere condolences to the superintendent and staff of the St Mary Division, his family, and friends. Rest well brother, your 29 years sojourn has come to an end,” the release said.
