Several injured in car crash on JFK

A serious traffic accident on John F. Kennedy Drive has left multiple people injured, adding to what has already been a tragic Independence Day holiday.

The crash occurred Friday afternoon and involved at least two vehicles, with one overturning on the busy thoroughfare.

Before emergency medical services arrived, bystanders and loved ones rushed to assist the injured, doing their best to keep them comfortable while waiting for first responders.

The circumstances surrounding the crash remain unclear, and police have not yet released details on what led to the collision or the extent of the victims' injuries.

The accident comes just hours after a plane carrying seven people crashed near North Andros Airport, casting a shadow over what is traditionally a time of national celebration.
