Fourteen-year-old Jouvhaine Whitmore, son of former Reggae Boyz coach and player Theodore 'Tappa' Whitmore died as a result of injuries he sustained when he was hit off his bicycle in a motor vehicle crash in St James on Saturday.

Whitmore is of a Retirement address in the parish.

Reports are that about 5:40 p.m., a Pajero SUV was travelling along the Retirement main road when upon reaching an intersection, the driver lost control and slammed into a motorcar and a bicycle, both travelling in the opposite direction.

Whitmore, who was reportedly a Grade Nine Cornwall College student, was thrown from the bicycle and sustained injuries.

He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

'Tappa' Whitmore is said to be off the island on FIFA business.
