To­ba­go po­lice are urg­ing mo­torists to be cau­tious on the is­land’s roads af­ter a car plunged over a precipice and in­to the sea fol­low­ing a two-ve­hi­cle col­li­sion along Mil­ford Road, Lam­beau, yes­ter­day morn­ing.

One man was tak­en to the Scar­bor­ough Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal af­ter the ac­ci­dent, which hap­pened around 7.45 am.

Po­lice said one ve­hi­cle was trav­el­ling east along Mil­ford Road when it came in­to con­tact with an­oth­er ve­hi­cle dri­ven by a man iden­ti­fied as An­tho­ny, who was trav­el­ling in the op­po­site di­rec­tion.

Fol­low­ing the col­li­sion, one of the ve­hi­cles left the road­way and end­ed up in a drain.

The dri­ver was tak­en to the Scar­bor­ough Re­gion­al Hos­pi­tal in a re­spon­sive con­di­tion. Po­lice said no se­ri­ous in­juries were re­port­ed.

Speak­ing at the scene, Cor­po­ral Vin­cent of the To­ba­go Po­lice Di­vi­sion said dri­vers must be mind­ful of road con­di­tions and not fo­cus on­ly on speed.

“Dri­vers have to be mind­ful of the road con­di­tions in To­ba­go. You have to pro­ceed cau­tious­ly. Take al­lyuh time. Speed is not every­thing. Take your time, get where you want to go safe­ly,” he said.

Po­lice said en­quiries in­to the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing the ac­ci­dent are con­tin­u­ing.
