The police are advising motorists to expect delays when travelling on Washington Boulevard in St Andrew, following a collision involving multiple vehicles a short while ago.
The crash, according to the Jamaica Constabulary Force, occurred in the vicinity of Headley Avenue on Wednesday.
“Motorists will experience long delays and as such should use alternative routes where possible,” the police tweeted a short while ago with a video clip.
It is not immediately clear if there are any serious injuries.

The passing of Elizabeth II has brought home how similar we are to other ex-colonies in her former empire: all our heads of states and officials representing us at her funeral had to use the bus to get to Westminster Abbey!! Now…let’s not get our dander up and knickers in a knot – except for Joe Biden, almost every other of the 170 or so leaders had to queue up for the ride! And Joe gets a pass to ride in his limo (“The Beast”) only cause the Brits wanna cling for dear life to their “special relationship” to remain relevant!! Joe also got an aisle seat inside the Cathedral. In case he had to get to the loo?
But a pic of newly-elected President William Ruto of Kenya – with President Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania and other African leaders shoehorned into a bus – went viral across Africa!! Most folks back home thought it was quite infra dig, and that it made them look like a bunch of school kids on a field trip. Ruto, however, said he used the occasion to network with folks who could help move Kenya out of its brewing economic crisis. One wonders who our rep – Minister of Parliamentary Affairs – networked with.
President Ramaphosa of South Africa, however, didn’t even wait for the final rites – he flew back home because of the crippling blackouts that have hit the once-most-developed country in Africa!! Everything has ground to a halt to intensify the skyrocketing crime wave and xenophobia that had already put the nation on the back foot. And more than anything else, this should force some introspection by all of us as to what have we done to make ourselves REALLY independent from Britain. It’s a cryin’ shame that apart from outliers like Singapore and Mauritius, we seem to have wasted our possibilities and stifled our peoples’ dreams.
But there are some bright spots. Ruto’s Kenya has shown we can make progress from the greatest fetter the Empire placed on us – arbitrarily cobbling together groups of people from entirely different cultures and insisting we’re individual “nations”!! Kenya alone has 44 tribes!! This was sure to create conflict, as we all vied to “rule” like the departed Brits. Divide and conquer!! Meaning literally lording over everybody else!! Well, like us and Ghana, Kenya returned to multiparty democracy in 1992, and, after some serious ethnic violence in 2007, worked out constitutional changes in the political system that have led to peaceful changes in governments.
Back in the day, Burnham picked up his ideas of one-party dictatorship and “Big Man politics” from Africa, and maybe his successors can now observe that peaceful electoral politics is the way to go!!Let’s learn from Mama Africa!!
…on rice farms’ size
When the average Guyanese – outside of rice-farming areas – think about this industry, that’s the largest employer in the country, they see endless acreage of green (or golden) fields fading into the horizon. But the reality is that most rice farmers cultivate small plots of less than 5 acres – and barely scrape out a precarious existence. With President Ali promising his Government would facilitate increasing our rice production from 650,000 tonnes to 850,000 tonnes annually, the path is clear: increase the size of plots for new and existing farmers.
We just gotta follow the identical path that got us in large scale rice-farming, to begin with – convert abandoned cane fields into rice fields!! Studies have now shown that the optimum size for family-run farms is about 25 acres, and, at least with the Skeldon lands, the terminated sugar workers can be leased such lands to put into rice.If this could be done when there was barely any mechanisation in the 1920s, what about now??
…on audited records
It’s been several weeks since IPADA-G said they submitted the financial records demanded of them by the Min of Culture – to account for their $468M grant. So, were those records kosher??Inquiring minds want to know!!

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — This year’s World Cup apparently won’t be the end for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 37-year-old Portugal star said he is not considering retiring from international football in December after the tournament in Qatar, and plans to play at the 2024 European Championship.
“I’m still motivated. My ambition is really high,” Ronaldo said at an event late Tuesday after being recognized by the Portuguese football federation for his scoring feats. “I’m in a national team with a lot of youngsters. I want to be in the World Cup and at Euros. I want to make that commitment now.”
Ronaldo earlier this year had already dismissed retirement talks when asked if the World Cup in Qatar would be his last.
The forward has been struggling at Manchester United and has not been an undisputed starter with the English club.
Ronaldo will enter the World Cup holding the men’s all-time record of 117 international goals.
He is preparing with Portugal for Nations League matches at the Czech Republic on Saturday and against Spain at home three days later.
Winner of the inaugural edition of the Nations League in 2019, Portugal trail Spain by one point entering the final two games. Only the group winners will advance to the Final Four.

Reggae Boyz goalkeeper and captain Andre Blake, who plays for Philadelphia Union in Major League Soccer (MLS), is the recipient of the 2022 John Wanamaker Athletic Award.
The John Wanamaker Athletic Award has been presented since 1961 to the athlete, team or organization which has done the most to reflect credit upon Philadelphia and the team or sport in which they excel.
The 31-year-old Blake, who currently leads the league in most goalkeeping categories, is a four-time MLS All-Star, two-time MLS Goalkeeper of the Year and has been nominated twice for an ESPY award for best Major League Soccer player.
Thanks in large part to his efforts, the Philadelphia Union has been steadily holding first place in the Eastern Conference this season and is again in contention for the MLS Supporters’ Shield, awarded to the team with the best regular season record.
“I am grateful to be recognized by the Philadelphia sports community and honoured to accept the Wanamaker Award on behalf of my family, teammates and the entire Philadelphia Union organization,” said Blake. “Throughout my career, I have strived to set an example on and off the field of what it means to be a strong leader and community advocate. I hope that I’ve inspired the future generation of young athletes to work hard and keep chasing their dreams.”
“It is our privilege to recognize Andre Blake as the recipient of the 2022 John Wanamaker Athletic Award for his commitment to the City of Philadelphia, his teammates and the game of soccer,” said Don Smolenski, Philadelphia Eagles president and PHL Sports chair.
The awards presentation and luncheon will take place Wednesday, October 26 at the Crystal Tea Room.

Young People in Business: Kerry-Ann Aiken
NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!
Entrepreneurship has been on the cards for Kerry-Ann Aiken from day one.
For Aiken, it was only natural for her to operate a business, having seen both parents run their own.
She currently operates KW Bloombox, a gift shop based at the Progressive Shopping Centre on Barbican Road in Kingston.
The welcoming, sizeable storefront boasts local and imported items, plants and floral arrangments, giving customers a large pool of gift options.
Aiken first operated the business from a third bedroom in her home before officially opening a storefront in December 2020.
She later found a larger space to meet the demands of her growing customer base, which includes corporate clients.
Watch the video by Richard Baker for details of Aiken’s business story.

Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh. File photo/Ayanna Kinsale
HEALTH Minister Terrence Deyalsingh has reminded the public that the covid19 pandemic is not over.
He was speaking at the Health Ministry’s virtual press conference on Wednesday.
A journalist pointed out that some healthcare professionals and world leaders have started signalling that the end of the pandemic may be near, and asked if he felt the same way.
Deyalsingh said he does not base such decisions solely on what people from other countries are saying.
“The pandemic is not over, in my view, in the TT context.”
He explained that in determining if a pandemic is over, the WHO creates an 18-member committee and a conclusion is reached after discussions.
“But a pandemic doesn’t really have a defined end date.
“Because what is going to happen with covid19 (is), it is most likely – like influenza, like swine flu – it is going to become endemic.
“So it may not necessarily be over where you have no covid anywhere in the world or in Trinidad and Tobago.
“It is going to become part of our public health landscape and the same way we have to manage influenza by vaccinating, by practising cough etiquette…this is how we’re going to have to deal with covid in the future.”
