A baby walker, diapers and laundry spilled out of a mangled red Renault Clio that veered off an embankment at Shelly Bay, claiming the life of 19-year-old Troylisha Samantha Outerbridge and putting four of the five other occupants of the car into hospital.

Miss Outerbridge, the second road fatality of the year, was one of five passengers travelling east in the vehicle when the driver, a 23-year-old Hamilton Parish man, appeared to have lost control of the vehicle and veered off an embankment on North Shore Road on Shelly Bay field.

Ms Outerbridge, of Broken Hill Lane, Smith's, was pronounced dead at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital at 4.30 a.m. The precise cause of her death will not be released, pending a Coroner's Inquest.

Her grandparents told The Royal Gazette that when the teenage was five, their son, Troy Rucker, was killed in a road accident.

While the driver and three other passengers -- ranging in age from 15 to 23-- sustained injuries in the accident, a 17-year-old male walked away from the scene unscathed.

One of the passengers, a 15-year-old St. George's girl, was treated for bruising and a suspected broken cheekbone and released from the hospital with.

The remaining two passengers, Hamilton Parish men aged 19 and 22, sustained leg injuries while the driver suffered a broken rib and a lung injury. According to a hospital spokesman, all three are in satisfactory condition on a general ward.

Police spokesman Dwayne Caines said although Police were initially looking for the unhurt 17-year-old, the youth later presented himself at the scene accompanied by his mother.

A 20-year-old Smith's woman who got out of the vehicles moments before the accident has also reported to Police, Mr. Caines said.

As she stood looking in disbelief at the mangled remains of the car, a woman who declined to be named, recalled what she heard from her house a few yards away.

"Around 3.30 I heard a lot of cursing, but I didn't pay it any mind. I thought it was just some people out here fighting.

"Then I heard a lot of screams for help. By the time I got out here, they were taking the last person away," she said. "I can't believe this."

The accident caused Police to close North Shore Road to all through traffic for over eight hours between Bailey's Bay and Flatts Village.

A team of about eight traffic investigators were yesterday conducting a detailed examination of the scene.
