Tuesday, 05 Aug, 2011 0

Three members of a British family have been killed in a road crash in Jamaica, in the northwest of the island.

The family, mainly from Windermere in Cumbria, were travelling in a minibus which was in collision with a pick-up truck between Kingston and Montego Bay .

Kathleen Rawlinson, 45, of Windermere, her ex-partner Gary Bamford, 49, of Ludlow, and Bamford's daughter, Caisie Muller, 17, of Brighton, all died. A family friend, Talei Jones from Canada, was also killed in the crash, which happened shortly after midnight on Sunday.

Rawlinson's 25-year-old daughter, Josie, also from Windermere, was seriously injured. Her partner, a 22-year-old man from Windermere suffered minor injuries. Bamford's 15-year-old son Owen, from Brighton, also received minor injuries.

It is believed Mr Bamford was driving the minibus which collided head on with a pick-up being driven by local man Bryan Clarke, who was also injured.
