The motorcar involved in the accident 

Mc Nab was driving motorcar, #PAH 2213, proceeding South along the Washer Pond road while the motorcyclist was proceeding in the opposite direction when the accident occurred.

According to police reports, the driver of the car ended up in the path of the motorcycle and, as a result, a collision occurred causing the motorcyclist and pillion rider to fall on the road surface and receive injuries about their bodies.

The motorcycle was then engulfed in flames. The car driver along with the motorcyclist and pillion rider were all picked up in unconscious condition by public-spirited citizens and taken to the Linden Hospital Complex, where they were all seen and examined by a doctor, who pronounced the teenager dead on arrival.
Meanwhile, Mc Nab was admitted for chest pain and Nurse was admitted for fractures to both legs at the said hospital.
The body of Smith is currently at the Linden Senior Citizen Association Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.

Investigations are in progress.
