Ch­agua­nas fa­ther Nigel Ram­per­sad was killed dur­ing a freak ac­ci­dent in­volv­ing a truck and trail­er in Freeport on Mon­day.

In re­sponse to the trag­ic news of his pass­ing, there was an out­pour­ing of shock and sad­ness over so­cial me­dia by rel­a­tives and friends.

Ram­per­sad, of Fe­lic­i­ty, Ch­agua­nas, was em­ployed with Samp­son Trans­port Com­pa­ny Ltd.

Ini­tial po­lice re­ports said around 6.30 pm he was dri­ving a truck tow­ing a 40ft con­tain­er on a trail­er on the com­pound of F.C.W Lim­it­ed at Ra­jku­mar Trace, Mis­sion Road, Freeport.

He re­port­ed­ly made a right turn and the truck jack-knifed caus­ing part of the con­tain­er to fall and crushed the cab­in.

The weight of the con­tain­er pinned Ram­per­sad.

He died at the scene. But, a crane had to lift the con­tain­er off of the truck for Ram­per­sad’s body to be re­moved.

Ram­per­sad’s son Justin post­ed on Face­book: “Who would of ever thought this morn­ing would of been the last time say­ing good­bye, why god had to take you so soon dad why?...still in shock...you told me to come pick u up from work and I didn’t ex­pect to meet his....fly high my king...love you for­ev­er.”

An­oth­er post by De­vi­ka Maraj Ram­bal­lie stat­ed, “To my cousin-in-law Nigel Ram­per­sad I’m now able to process your un­time­ly death.”

Ram­per­sad’s chil­dren’s teacher Gary Dook­ie post­ed, “This is a SHOCK­ER!! Nigel Ram­per­sad an ex­cep­tion­al and lov­ing par­ent. I had the plea­sure of teach­ing his 3 kids at my school and in­deed a de­vot­ed, com­mit­ted and re­li­able dad­dy! My heart hurts for your very ed­u­cat­ed and re­spect­ful chil­dren and your amaz­ing wife. May God be with them and your fam­i­ly and friends. Any­thing, any­time wasn’t too hard for you to lend sup­port and ad­vise. A true fam­i­ly man.”
