Man, 32, killed in crash near Corinth Overpass

A fatal accident occurred in the early hours of November 8 on the Solomon Hochoy Highway near the Corinth Overpass, resulting in the death of 32-year-old Arvin Williams. Williams, a resident of London Street Extension in St Joseph Village, San Fernando, was pronounced dead at the scene. Reports indicate that he was returning home after dropping off a friend in Golconda when the incident took place. According to police, Williams was driving his red Nissan Frontier along the northbound lane of the highway when he lost control of the vehicle near the Cipero Bridge, crashing into the bridge’s walls. The van subsequently plunged into a ditch 30 feet below, landing on the bank of the Cipero River. Emergency responders from the Mon Repos Fire Station, including FSSO Hernandez, arrived at the scene and used specialized equipment, known as the ‘jaws of life,’ to extract Williams’ body from the wreckage. Dr. Bahal, the District Medical Officer, examined the body and ordered its transfer to the San Fernando General Hospital mortuary for a post-mortem examination. Officers from the Southern Division, including Cpl Khallie, WPC Nysus, and PC Madhoo, conducted an on-site investigation and collected evidence. The wreckage was later towed to the Ste Madeleine Police Station, where Cpl Khallie is leading the ongoing investigation. This tragic incident echoes a similar fatal crash in the same area last year, where two friends, Sachin Teeluckdharry and Ryan Ramnanan, lost their lives after their vehicle veered off the highway and landed in the Cipero River.
