WESTERN BUREAU:

Motorcyclists in Hanover, a region consistently featured in the top three parishes in fatal crashes involving motorcycles, were the recipients of the 11th staging of the National Road Safety Council’s (NRSC) Motorcycle Outreach and Training Programme, which was staged at the Green Island High School on Sunday.

Courtney Coubrie, the course presenter for the outreach and training programme, told The Gleaner that the course is being done with the participation and collaboration of other agencies such as the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) and the Island Traffic Authority.

“There were a lot of motorcycle deaths occurring in the western region, chief among them were the parishes of Westmoreland, St Elizabeth and Hanover, up to recently, and the result was that the NRSC was mandated to come up with an intervention to stem the problem in the area,” said Coubrie.
