Meanwhile, several persons, including a pregnant woman are recovering after receiving various types of injury on Carnival Monday, after the brakes malfunctioned on a trailer truck carrying band equipment and several members.
The incident occurred sometime after 5pm along Queen Elizabeth Highway.
Cellular phone footage shows the moment when the brakes failed on the truck, which was being operated with the band Bacchanal Carnival. None of the injuries is said to be life-threatening.
Reports are that a security guard was dragged several feet during the incident, after being unable to free himself from a rope connected to the run-away truck. The band returned to its Yasco base as a result of the mishap.
