The last thing 23-year-old Isiah Williams told his wife was that he was on his way home.
The father of two never made it as the car in which he was a back-seat passenger crashed into a lightpole along the Solomon Hochoy Highway near Tarouba, killing him on the spot yesterday morning.
Three other occupants were rushed to the San Fernando General Hospital where they are in a stable condition. According to a police report, the driver lost control of the car which flipped several times before crashing into a lightpole.
However, Williams’ mother-in-law Arlene Simon said she heard that the accident, which took place shortly after 6 am, was caused by a bad drive. “It was fast and furious driving,” she said.
Williams was thrown from the vehicle, landing 300 metres away. She appealed to young drivers to stop speeding and be more careful on the roads. Sunday Guardian was told that Williams, a fabricator, went out with three of his friends on Friday night and was coming home after liming in Gasparillo.
Simon described Williams who has two sons, ages four and one, with her daughter Keneal Simon-Williams as a family man. The couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary in November.
