Killer driver released from police custody

Police sources told Newsday that the man who hails from D’Abadie was released from custody late Friday night after statements were recorded from him.

Police sources added that while the man has been allowed to go home, officers will conduct further interviews with him.

A file is expected to be compiled by investigators and sent to the head of Police Traffic Branch and then to Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Roger Gaspard SC, for further instructions.

It was reported that at about 10.30 pm last Thursday Carla Collins and her sons Kamari, eight months and Kamani, two years, were the backseat passengers in her husband Keston Collins’ car which he was driving south along Mausica Road.

As he drove the car across the Priority Bus Route (PBR) intersection, a car which was speeding east along the Bus Route, broke the traffic light (which was on red) and slammed into the right side of Collins’ car.

The impact caused Collins’ car to spin and smash into another vehicle which was parked at the side of the intersection.

Carla and her sons were flung out of the car and onto the road of the Bus Route, with the impact killing them almost instantly.

Collins sustained minor injuries.

The speeding driver was unscathed.
