Letter to the Editor: A miracle in Diego

A driver survived a violent car accident in Diego Martin on the morning of September 6 without fatalities, according to a letter published by the Diocese of Port of Spain.

The driver reported that their vehicle was struck from behind at the intersection of the Diego Martin Highway and Sierra Leone Road. Eyewitnesses stated the vehicle became airborne, hit concrete dividers, and overturned five times. Despite the extensive damage to the crumpled vehicle, the driver survived the crash.

Following the accident, Deacon Derek Walcott arrived at the scene to assist. He convinced the driver to go to the St James Medical Complex for evaluation of potential internal injuries, managed the removal of items from the vehicle, and coordinated with the tow truck driver and the driver's wife.
