The I-01 later ended up on the other side of the road. The driver was later removed from the vehicle by personnel of the Fire department and subsequently administered first aid by ambulance. It later emerged that the driver of the I-10 with the initials M.S.J had passed away on the scene.
The other two victims who were in the bus, received treatment on the scene and were later transported to the Sint Maarten Medical Center.Their injuries are not life threatening.
