MARIGOT--Two young people from the French side and one from the Dutch side were killed in a motorcycle accident on Mount Valois hill on Saturday around 10:45pm, when the two motorcycles travelling in opposite directions crashed head-on into each other at high speed.
Each motorcycle had been overtaking a vehicle that was travelling in front of it. The motorcyclists were thrown through the air and one was killed instantly. He was identified as Mirangelo Blijden (22), who lived on Bush Road, St Maarten.
Relatives of Blijden were very shocked by the incident and a cousin said, "I just heard about it an hour ago. I cannot believe that two motorcycles could have a head-on crash like this. From what I hear they were not wearing helmets. It is very sad."
The second motorcycle was carrying a young couple identified as Ginette Souklaye (18) and Joel Richardson (23). Both were critically injured and emergency service personnel fought desperately to save their lives. One of the injured reportedly was revived at the scene, but despite the best efforts of the emergency personnel both died shortly after their arrival at hospital.
None of the three persons involved in the accident was wearing a safety helmet.
