At least 7 dead as vehicle plunges into the sea in St. Vincent
At least seven persons, mainly students, died after a minibus plunged into the sea in Rock Gutter, an area between Owia and Fancy on the northeastern tip of St. Vincent Monday morning.
Police and government officials say that five bodies were recovered from the sea, and one person died in hospital, and another died on the way to hospital.
Police are still trying to verify how many persons were in the minibus when it plunged into the sea sometime between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m.
One police source has said that officials were told that the minibus, which is licensed to carry 18 passengers, was “full” when it left Fancy, the northernmost community in St. Vincent.
