It may seem overly paranoid but this is why I'm insisting on Electronic Stability Control for my wife's next car.

A Cunupia man who died in the horrific car accident on the Uriah Butler Highway on Saturday night had pushed his best friend, in the passenger seat, out of the way to save his friend’s life moments before another car ploughed into theirs.

Aleem Akaloo, 23, the dead driver, and Nankumar Rooplal, the survivor, had both watched in resigned helplessness as an out-of-control red Nissan Qashqai flew through the air towards them. The airborne car, driven by Jillian St Bernard had been heading north along the highway, when it struck the median and took off, landing in the southbound lane.

Her Nissan smashed into the right side of Akaloo’s black Toyota Prado, killing them both instantly. A badly-shaken Rooplal survived the accident, which happened at around 7.30 on Saturday night, near the Munroe Road Flyover. The crash led to a major traffic pile-up, which lasted for more than two hours.

Fire officials had to cut into the metal of the cars to retrieve the bodies of both Akaloo and St Bernard. Recounting the last minutes prior to the accident, Rooplal yesterday cried uncontrollably as he gazed upon his "brother's" casket at the funeral service for Akaloo.

Physically supported by his father, Ganesh Rooplal, Nankumar's face, neck, ears, hands and upper body reflected the injuries he sustained. Unable to say much before being overcome by grief, Nankumar spoke softly as he said, “As soon as he saw the car flying towards us, he pushed his hand out to save me and he tried to hold on.”

Nankumar added, “He say ‘this is it, we dead.’” Breaking down as he wiped away his tears, Ganesh choked up as he spoke of his son’s best friend's attempt to save him. “Aleem saved him by squeezing him against the door.” Describing Aleem as Nankumar's brother, Ganesh said, "They were always moving together."

Minutes before Aleem's body was brought to his house, his father Inshan Akaloo sought to articulate the pain the family was experiencing as he said, "It real hurting me. He was everything to me."

Inshan explained that Aleem and Nankumar left home to pick up Aleem's 13-year-old sister at Movietowne, Price Plaza, Chaguanas. An only son whom he described as "wonderful," Inshan said, "He did everything for me in my business. He was the backbone of my business. "I don't know where I am going from here...." Inshan trailed off.

Up to yesterday, police officers were yet to interview Nankumar about the accident. Aleem was buried according to Muslim rites at the Munroe Road Cemetery.

Asked if he had a word of advice to other motorists, Inshan appealed to drivers, "Take your time, if you are sleepy, park up and take a rest. Please don't drink and drive." There is no suggestion from the police speeding or sleepiness caused St Barnard to lose control of her Qashqai. At her Santa Rosa home yesterday, a few of her co-workers gathered along with grieving family members.

They all declined to speak with the media. St Bernard was employed as a business intelligence analyst with Digicel Trinidad and Tobago. Neighbours indicated that the St. Bernard family had only moved into the area several months ago and had kept to themselves.

According to the police report, around 7.20 pm on February 20, St Bernard lost control of her car and struck the median. The accident occurred in the vicinity of the Munroe Road Flyover.

CHick who died in the accident last night. Shame.
RIP to both. I felt it for the dad of the other guy who died
when he said on tv it was his ONLY son. WAW.

WoW very beautiful.Rip

[2WNBoost]

This accident has me really upset.
I think Aleem Akaloo's family should file a wrongful death suit against the estate of Jillian St Bernard.
Set a precedent so that maybe idiot drivers would think twice of the consequences of their actions, i.e. they will pay whether dead or alive.

[Redman]

Unfortunately that would be the only way to arrive a any conclusive determination on what happened.

For eg:
The twins that died on the Cross Crossing bridge.
Still no accountability.

[pugboy]

and of course there may be talk of she getting a bad drive and so on

[BoxEater]

thats why i reiterate that women should stay in the kitchen...if the driver of the quashqi was in the kitchen making a sandwich none of this woulda happen

[2WNBoost]

^^Ouch.
Troll much?

When Wayne Brown ran off the road early yesterday morning, he hit a lamp pole with so much force, that the engine of his Nissan Medallist car detached and landed about 20 feet away from the vehicle itself. Brown, 24, died at the scene.

I think it's quite foolish to prematurely blame Jillian for causing Akeen's death. Many times a bad drive results in someone innocent crossing lanes. This happened to me years ago by Mt Hope where a driver pulled on me, hit the left hand side of my car. This resulted in a overcompensating reaction which then (I think as its all a blur) led me losing control and darting onto the opposing lane. I was extremely lucky as no one was near me when I crossed. But guess what I was probably going at just under 100km/hr. Hardly speeding.

Don't blame any of the victims until the facts are revealed.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

everyone inside here speeds....how much people actually drive at 80km...even if you do..........how often?

[TurboSingh12]

Fixed

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Fcuk dat 80km/h limit. I set my cruise control to 95 and I come across a handful of cars doing 90 in the left lane. Everyone else zooming past me over 100.

[SYKO]

and of course there may be talk of she getting a bad drive and so on

Question - if she was driving say 80 - 100km/hr would she have lost total control of her vehicle if given a bad drive?

But shouldn't we as drivers drive at a speed we can control incase of any situation that will arise?

What facts will be revealed???

I think the responsibility is clear while the drivers contribution is to be determined.

The median there allows cars to cross....that should not be.

Jersey barriers -properly designed and installed are designed to keep vehicles on their side.
Since the 60s they working.
As do the cable barriers.

Why the fack are we confronted with a median that sent Jillians vehicle airborne???
Whats the POINT of a median??
Whatever she was doing at that point in time is irrelevant speculation.

[tripplediamond]

Hey, can anyone give info or pics on a fatal accident at Lady Hailes Ave, San Fernando last night? One male confirmed...
