Schoolboys killed in fiery Westmoreland crash

Two fourth-form male students of Petersfield High School in Westmoreland died in a fiery crash this morning.

They have been identified by a school official as Zakeil McIntyre and Adjournie Robinson 

“Yes, I can confirm their deaths because I am just leaving the scene where two of our fourth-form students died,” Junior Clarke, acting vice principal and dean of discipline at the school, told The Gleaner. 

He said both students were on their way to school on a motorbike when they collided with a motor car that was travelling in the opposite direction. 

The collision caused both the car and the bike to catch fire, killing the teen boys.
