According to Police, Prakash Surat, also known as "Blondy," of Fern Trace in Valencia was seated in the tray of a white Kia pick-up van, heading East along Valencia Old Road when he fell onto the roadway and was crushed beneath the wheels of a yellow cement truck. The man died almost instantly. Surat was just days away from celebrating his 25th birthday. A Police report said that around 5:45pm on Wednesday (4th November 2020), a Seereeram Brothers cement truck, driven by 40-year-old Clint Gobin, of Arena Gardens, Freeport, was proceeding in a westerly direction along the Valencia Old Road. Upon reaching the vicinity of Clarence Trace, he observed a white Kia pick-up van with occupants in the tray. The cement truck driver told Police that the pick-up van was proceeding in the opposite direction, when upon bending a corner the pick-up collided with his truck. The cement truck driver said he stopped his vehicle, but the other vehicle continued driving. Upon checking he observed a man lying on the roadway bleeding profusely, and he contacted Police. Officers from the Valencia and Sangre Grande Police Station responded to the scene. Further investigations revealed that one of the mirrors on the cement truck struck Surat, and he fell onto the road into the path of the cement truck. He was pronounced dead at the scene by a District Medical Officer and an autopsy was expected to be done on Thursday at the Forensic Science Centre. Officers are seeking information on the driver of the Kia pick-up van and the others who were also seated in the tray. The cement truck was impounded at the Valencia Police Station. Investigations are continuing, led by Cpl Garcia. [Source]
