Unfortunately, Cynthia died while receiving treatment.

Crishen was treated and transferred to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex where he remained warded up to late yesterday.

Speaking to members of the media yesterday Senior Superintendent Deodath Dulalchan pleaded with motorists to always exercise caution whenever they embark on the road. “Do not compromise safety for trying to reach your destination in a shorter time.

“When you do so, you are putting yourself and other road users at risk. So be cognisant of the fact that there are other road users and your actions could result in death or injury of others,” Dulalchan said.
