Driver in CARICOM Day smash-up granted bail

Jul 10, 2009 News

A 25-year-old father of two, Christopher Vasconcellos, yesterday appeared before Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Providence Magistrate’s Court, charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
The Air Condition technician, who resides at 19 East Ruimveldt, Georgtown, pleaded not guilty, and was placed under $200,000 bail.
Vasconcellos on CARICOM Day was the driver of the motorcar that crashed and claimed the life of 15-year-old Onika Holder, of Lot 135 Eastville Housing Scheme, Annandale, East Coast Demerara.
The car crashed into a utility pole near Grove on the East Bank Demerara and Holder sustained multiple fractures to the skull and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre. Vasconcellos was detained at the Grove Police Station and later taken to a medical facility to be tested to ascertain whether he was driving under the influence of alcohol.
The occupants were reportedly returning from a creek on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway when the tragedy occurred.
Vasconcellos is slated to return to court on September 3.
