Police are investigating a fatal traffic accident in Treasure Cay, Abaco, that claimed the lives of a woman and a young boy yesterday.

The crash happened shortly after 8am on SC Bootle Highway. Officers arrived to find two vehicles — a Nissan Kicks heading north and a Ford Excursion travelling south — that had collided head-on.

The woman driver of the Nissan and one of the two juvenile boys travelling with her died at the scene. They were pronounced dead by a doctor.

The second boy was airlifted to New Providence for treatment. His condition was not known up to press time.

A woman who was a passenger in the Ford Excursion was treated at a local clinic and discharged. The male driver reported no injuries.
