Accident victim identified

Relatives yesterday described her as a jovial and friendly person, who liked to keep herself and her area clean. “She liked to look good and keep her surroundings clean,” said a relative. “She always knew how to make someone laugh.” Relatives expressed shock upon hearing that the woman, originally from Cantaro Village in Santa Cruz, was struck by a car. They added that Danclaire liked to go for walks, and was probably taking one when she was killed. According to reports, Danclaire was attempting to cross the highway near Lifestyle Motors and had made it to the median, but was struck by a Nissan Tiida, while attempting to reach the other side of the road. She was killed instantly, a few metres away from the walkover. A video posted on social media depicted the woman’s sister lamenting on her death. In the video, she stood on the walkover, a few metres away from where she died. “It is so sad that she did not use this walkover, she would have been alive today,” said the sister in the video. An autopsy done at the Forensic Science Centre in St James confirmed that she died from trauma and haemorrhaging consistent with a car accident.
