Driver on $350,000 bail

Lewis, 28, of Fairview Drive, D’Abadie appeared before Senior Magistrate Gillian David- Scotland in the First Court charged with causing the death of Carla Collins, Armani Collins, two, and Kamani Collins, eight months.

He was also charged with one count of unlawful use of the Priority Bus Route (PBR) and one count of breach of a traffic light.

Mother and sons were buried on Wednesday following a funeral service.

The accident occurred two Thursdays ago at the intersection of the PBR and Mausica Main Road.

On being granted $350,000 bail with a surety, Lewis was ordered to surrender his TT Passport and Driver’s Permit.

Magistrate David- Scotland also told Lewis he could not hold a driver’s permit for the duration of the case.

Prosecutor Sgt Joseph Jugmohan said blood samples were taken from Lewis immediately after the accident and investigators are presently awaiting results.

Sgt Jugmohan said depending on the results, Lewis could also face a charge of driving under the influence.

During a police tracing, it was discovered that Lewis had a previous conviction for drunk driving in 2015.

During proceedings yesterday, Lewis sported a bandage over his left eye as he sat quietly with his head bowed. Lewis was remanded into custody until his bail was secured. He was ordered to return to court on March 2.
