Accident victim identified

Ramsumir was picked up by taxi driver, Wayne Paul, at her home and was on her way to the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission’s Customer Service Centre on Cipero Street to pay her latest bill. But while driving along the M2 Ring Road, Paul’s Nissan Almera crashed into a pickup van and Ramsumir was killed. Paul and the driver of the pick up truck sustained minor injuries.

According to Ramsumir’s sister, Snowie Bharath, she got news of her sister’s passing from a neighbour whose husband worked for the wrecking company that removed the crashed cars from the scene of the accident.

“She came and tell me that my sister died. I was so shocked.

I could not believe that my sister had passed away.” Bharath said that her sister was the youngest of a clan of five who all grew up on GP Road together. “Two of our brothers passed already, so now is me and my next sister upstairs.” Ramsumir was remembered by Bharath as “a very kind person who was very faithful in the Lord. She was always going to church right down the road in the Christ Recruiter Assembly Church.” According to Bharath, Ramsumir lived alone and survived on social welfare.
