Early on Sunday morning (21st July 2019), both Ronald Deonarine (21) and his 18-year-old girlfriend Stacy Paul died after Deonarine lost control of his blue Mazda 323 Hatchback.
The tragic accident occurred shortly before 1am along Garth Road in Williamsville. Deonarine apparently ran off the road and struck a concrete Culvert, then slammed into a Utility Pole. The impact of the crash caused Deonarine’s girlfriend, Stacy, to be flung from the front seat onto the back seat. She may have suffered a broken neck and died at the scene. Meanwhile, Deonarine was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital and succumbed to his injuries there. Autopsies were performed and revealed both died from head injuries.

According to Deonarine’s sister, Ariel, her brother never held a Driver’s License and was illegally driving on the nation’s roads for the past two (2) years. Ariel also admitted that Deonarine took their grandfather’s car on the night of the accident without permission.
See statements below from TTPS Road Safety Co-ordinator, Brent Batson, as well as Arrive Alive President, Sharon Inglefield.
TTPS Road Safety Co-ordinator, Brent Batson:
Unfortunately there are many who still subscribe to the prehistoric thinking of `de boy can drive he eh need no license’. The incident exemplifies the dangers associated with operating a motor vehicle without the basic requisite training in the licensing process. What is even more disturbing was persons close to the victims were aware of the that fact but chose to condone such lawlessness and now must live with that for the rest of their lives. Why didn’t neighbours or family report it to the local police station or the Licensing Authority? We can’t act unless the information comes to us.
Arrive Alive President, Sharon Inglefield:
We appeal to all our young people to avoid undue risks and to do defensive driving lessons prior to taking the steering wheel of a vehicle to drive. Just like a pilot has to be taught to fly, we all need to be taught to drive. We are losing too many on our roads this year again. It is all avoidable.
Their bodies will be cremated side-by-side at the Shore of Peace on Wednesday 24th July 2019.
