Man dies in accident

He was the father of a four-year-old boy.

Roodal was driving his car along Brothers Road when at about 5 pm, as he was passing Brothers Road Presbyterian School, lost control of the car.

The car flipped several times before coming to a stop at a nearby drain. Relatives described Roodal as a loving, jovial, helpful and hard-working person. “He would do anything to make an honest dollar,” said his mother who did not want to be named. “I will miss calling out his name in the morning. Every morning as I wake up I would call him, and he would answer back, ‘yes mommy’.” The woman said the last time she spoke with Roodal was a few hours earlier when he dropped her and his son off at Don Moore Junction so they could go to church.

An autopsy at the Forensic Science Centre in St James confirmed Roodal died from internal injuries consistent with a car accident.
