Chris Rag­o­nanan, a 28-year-old wait­ress, died when the car she was dri­ving crashed in­to a wall in Mara­bel­la yes­ter­day morn­ing.

Rag­o­nanan, who worked at a Chi­nese restau­rant in Gas­par­il­lo, was head­ing home af­ter work around 2 am when the ac­ci­dent oc­curred. She was dri­ving along Union Road in a white Hyundai Ac­cent ac­com­pa­nied by a 34-year-old woman who was in the front seat when the ve­hi­cle crashed in­to a con­crete wall at Ali’s Hard­ware.

Of­fi­cers from the Mon Re­pos Po­lice Sta­tion re­moved Ra­goo­nanan’s body from the ve­hi­cle and it was tak­en to the mor­tu­ary for an au­top­sy.

The pas­sen­ger in the ve­hi­cle com­plained about neck pains and was tak­en to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal for med­ical at­ten­tion.

Ra­goo­nanan’s grand­moth­er Mol­ly Mo­hammed said she got the trag­ic news from Rag­o­nanan’s broth­er who is on va­ca­tion abroad.

She said her grand­daugh­ter had dropped off a co-work­er and was head­ing home at the time of the ac­ci­dent. Ra­goo­nanan had re­cent­ly bought the car.

Mara­bel­la po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing.
