Veteran
radio broadcast journalist Neville Willoughby died in hospital
this morning after sustaining injuries in a traffic accident
last night.
According to the Constabulary Communication Network (CCN),
the popular journalist who is employed to Radio Jamaica (RJR),
was travelling in a grey Mitsubishi Buzz motorcar along Fairwell
Avenue, St. Andrew, when the accident occurred.
Reports are that, approximately 8:15 p.m., Willoughby's car
arrived at the intersection with Molynes Road and there was
a collision with a 1992 grey BMW motor vehicle. Willoughby,
who was seriously injured, was taken to the University of
West Indies Hospital by the police.
The other driver sustained no injuries and the police say
he is being warned for prosecution.
Willoughby, who was born in 1937, has been known to Jamaicans
for his years of work on 'The Evening People Show' on RJR.
He is also known for what some say is one of the best interviews
with the late reggae legend Bob Marley.
