Two mourn­ers es­caped death af­ter the car in which they were trav­el­ling crashed in­to an elec­tric­i­ty pole at San Fer­nan­do as they were re­turn­ing from a fu­ner­al at Mos­qui­to Creek on Sun­day.

The ac­ci­dent knocked out elec­tric­i­ty in sev­er­al parts of the city be­fore it was fi­nal­ly re­stored hours lat­er by a crew from the T&T Elec­tric­i­ty Com­mis­sion.

Doc­tors are cur­rent­ly treat­ing Kis­han Ram­nath, 18 and Kevin Gill, 43, for mul­ti­ple in­juries sus­tained in the crash.

Po­lice said around 1 pm, Gill, of Dun­can Vil­lage, San Fer­nan­do, was dri­ving a white Toy­ota Corol­la when he lost con­trol near the bus ter­mi­nal on La­dy Hailes Av­enue. The car crashed head-on in­to the pole.

Luck­i­ly, both men were wear­ing their seat­belts. Gill suf­fered a bro­ken hand and leg. Fire­fight­ers had to use a hy­draulic cut­ting de­vice to free the men from the wreck­age. Both were rushed to the hos­pi­tal sit­u­at­ed a stone's throw away. The car was re­moved to the San Fer­nan­do Po­lice sta­tion.

WPC Duntin is con­tin­u­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
