Man dies in head-on collision in Freeport

A 61-year-old Freeport man was killed following a head-on collision in Freeport on Sunday afternoon.

Around 4:20 pm on Sunday, Chandar Roopchand of Beaucarro Road, St. Mary’s, was driving his white Nissan AD wagon north along the Southern Main Road near Beaucarro Junction when he reportedly lost control of the car.

His vehicle crashed into a maxi taxi that was traveling in the opposite direction.

Prakash Sinanan, a front-seat passenger of Roopchand’s car, was taken to the Couva District Health Facility for treatment after he complained of chest pains.
Investigations are underway.
