Dec 13, 2009 News

In an invited comment on the status of the investigation into the accident which claimed the life of Minister within the Ministry of Education, Desrey Fox, Traffic Chief Neil Semple said that the police are currently taking statements from eyewitnesses.
The Traffic Chief said that as far as he knows no charges are being prepared. When further questioned, the Traffic Chief said that he could not comment on the issue of who was in the wrong but maintained that investigations are still ongoing.
The Traffic chief further declined to comment on speculations that the driver of Minister’s Fox car was unlicensed. Semple said he has not been privy to such information.
However, the driver of the ambulance which was involved in the accident remains suspended from the job. He has since sought the services of a lawyer to look into his interest.
According to the ambulance driver, witnesses and others involved, the accident occurred about 18:00hrs on Tuesday. From all accounts the ambulance was heading north along Vlissengen Road with its siren blaring and lights flashing when the car attempted to cross its path and was slammed.
One porter from the ambulance said, “We were responding to an emergency call that a man had fallen off a scaffold at Victoria Village and we were going to collect him with the siren on and suddenly I hear bam, and I feel the impact.”
The left side of motor car, PKK8875, was smashed in on impact and the back windscreen exploded. One witness at the scene of the accident said, “When the ambulance slam the Minister car it spin and hit into the front of the Apache taxi and the Minister and a baby pitch out the back window.”
The Minister succumbed to her injuries early Friday morning.
