A 41-year-old man was killed in a vehicular accident along the Churchill Roosevelt Highway, near the University of the West Indies intersection.
Two female occupants who were in the vehicle also sustained minor injuries and were treated while at the scene by medical personnel.
According to a police report, about 9 am, Andy Alleyne was driving a black Jaguar along the eastbound lane when he attempted to avoid two crossing pedestrians. Alleyne reportedly lost control of the vehicle, which overturned. One of Alleyne’s arms was severed during the crash and he was pinned behind the steering wheel, where he died.
Alleyne’s last known address was Emerald Drive, Diego Martin.
A close friend of Alleyne, who did not want to disclose his name, described him as a “cool” individual.
Another friend meanwhile spoke of Alleyne’s “positivity and kindness in a social media post.
“To my dear brother Andy Alleyne, may the GAOTU welcome you with open arms. Your positivity, kindness and presence will be missed from this earth. Much love.”
Another said news of his tragic death “hit hard.”
