A pall of gloom hangs over the George Alleyne Hall at the University of The West Indies’s Mona campus in Kingston, following the death of three residents in a motor vehicle collision yesterday morning.

The victims are identified as 20-year-old Devaughn Cunningham, 22-year-old Romario Nedrick, and 23-year-old Lamaro Cole. They were students at the University of Technology (UTech).

“I’ve known him since last September and though it seems like such a short period of time, I was absolutely devastated when I found out. I started crying immediately. He used to print (schoolwork) with me really often, and outside of that, we’d pass each other and have little conversations. All I can think about are his (Devaughn’s) parents. How do you feel knowing that the child you nurtured and has so much to live for just ceased to exist in the blink of an eye?” Kaylia Sturridge, law student, told the Jamaica Observer’s weekly Auto magazine.
