A baby escaped death but his mother was not so fortunate after their vehicle collided
with a cement in Debe last evening.
Deceased is 24 year old Simran Rahamat, a clerk, of Laltoo Trace, Penal. Initial reports stated that around 5:30 pm she was in the back seat of a blue Honda hatchback , along with her 16 month old son who was in a child booster seat.
They were with her father and a female relative proceeding east along M2 Ring Road.
Their vehicle overtook a line of traffic and collided with a Mack cement truck which was proceeding in the opposite direction.
The hatchback swerved off the road into the drain on the northern side of the road near Debe Secondary School. Rahamut died at the scene while fire fighters used the Jaws of Life to take her father Afraz Rahamut, 50, out of the mangled wreck.
Her 46 year old father, her baby and Amida Rahamut were taken to the San Fernando General Hospital.
