Emergency responders are on the scene of a tragic crash involving a Public Transport Service Corporation (PTSC) bus in Freeport, which has claimed two lives and left several others injured.

Officials confirmed that bus driver Mustapha Khan and passenger Roxanne Phillip, a security officer attached to SWAT, both died in the collision. According to reports, the PTSC deluxe bus was heading south along the Solomon Hochoy Highway when, on passing the Freeport overpass, it slammed into the rear of a flatbed truck.

The truck driver suffered minor injuries, but Khan died at the scene. Phillip also lost her life and remained trapped beneath the wreckage.

Transport Minister Eli Zakour and Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexandeer are at the site as emergency crews work to remove the mangled bus. Passengers were taken to hospital after receiving minor injuries.
