Three men were killed and a fourth hospitalised after the motorcycles on which they were travelling collided with a truck along the Whithorn main road in Westmoreland on Monday.
The deceased have been identified as 18-year-old Jermaine Scott, of Darliston, 24-year-old Relay McLeod, of Ashton district, and a man only known as 'Sanjay', also of Westmoreland.
The fourth man has been admitted at the Savanna-la-Mar Hospital in serious condition.
The police report that about 6 p.m., three motorcyclists, one with a pillion aboard, were travelling along the roadway in Waterworks when they crashed into a motor truck travelling towards Ferris from Whithorn, in the opposite direction.
Early indications are that the riders failed to keep to the left-hand side of the road, crashing into the truck, which caused their bikes to burst into flames on impact.
