A devastating double tragedy has struck a family in Eleuthera, Bahamas, after 58-year-old Ferde Julien, a father of four, was killed in a car crash on Friday night, just weeks after the death of his wife. The incident occurred on Queen’s Highway when Julien, reportedly returning home after socializing, collided with a tree. Police discovered him unresponsive and severely injured in his extensively damaged vehicle. His nephew, Ervin Bain, described the loss as a profound blow to the family, who were still grieving the recent passing of Julien’s wife. ‘The loss of two parents is something many people have never experienced, making the coping process incredibly difficult,’ Bain told The Tribune. Julien, a carpenter originally from Haiti, had moved to Eleuthera five years ago for work and had aspirations of purchasing land to build a home for his family. He was known for his quiet, loving nature and deep devotion to his family. The crash has raised concerns about road safety in the area, with family members citing poor road conditions and inadequate street lighting as potential contributing factors. The family plans to meet with police officials to seek further clarity on the circumstances of the accident. This tragedy marks the 51st traffic fatality in the country this year, according to The Tribune’s records.
