The accused is 26-year-old Major-Mark Bennett from Henry Morgan Avenue in Kingston 11.

The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) said: “Reports are that, about 5:40PM, Bennett was driving a Mitsubishi Fuso Truck along Morrison Street when he lost control of the vehicle and collided with 37-year-old Diana Taylor and her 3-year-old daughter – both of Morrison Street.
