A moth­er of two on her way home af­ter a prayer ser­vice was killed in an ear­ly morn­ing ac­ci­dent in La Ro­maine yes­ter­day.

Pre­cious “An­gel” Williams, 23, a hair­dress­er of Cir­cu­lar Road, Princes Town, died at the scene.

Her hus­band Michael Williams was among five oth­er peo­ple in­jured in the ac­ci­dent along the South Trunk Road.

Ac­cord­ing to the po­lice, around 4.30 am, Williams and her hus­band were in the back seat of a 323 Maz­da which had stopped at a red traf­fic light near Al­ice Street.

The dri­ver, Kei­th Mills, was wait­ing for the traf­fic light to turn green when a grey wag­on rammed the back of his car, caus­ing ex­ten­sive dam­age. Williams died in the back seat of the car. Her hus­band and two oth­er pas­sen­gers in the Maz­da, along with the wag­on dri­ver and his pas­sen­ger, re­ceived in­juries.

They were all treat­ed at the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal. Doc­tors ad­vised po­lice of­fi­cers that the wag­on dri­ver could not be ad­min­is­tered a breathal­yser test due to his med­ical con­di­tion. Williams’ el­dest sis­ter and best friend Keisha El­lis said the fam­i­ly was in a state of shock.

She said Williams and her hus­band went to Point Fortin to as­sist a church mem­ber with a thanks­giv­ing ser­vice at his home.

They were get­ting a lift to Princes Town from an­oth­er church mem­ber when the ac­ci­dent oc­curred.

“I don’t know how to de­scribe this. It is trag­ic. I am speech­less,” said El­lis.

She said her sis­ter’s hus­band did not leave the scene un­til her body was re­moved.

“He suf­fered a dis­lo­cat­ed shoul­der and he got hit on his head. His pres­sure is high.”

Williams was not at­tend­ing any Car­ni­val ac­tiv­i­ties this year. In­stead, she planned to spend the day yes­ter­day at their grand­moth­er’s home in Moru­ga.

“We were go­ing to have a fam­i­ly lime to­day. We were go­ing to cook and lime at home,” she said.

Williams’ two chil­dren are two-years and 15-months old.

“My sis­ter was kind and lov­ing. She would do any­thing you ask her to do. She was a good friend, a lov­ing moth­er and wife. She was the best sis­ter any­body could ask for.”

An au­top­sy is ex­pect­ed to be per­formed at the San Fer­nan­do mor­tu­ary.

The wag­on dri­ver, a res­i­dent of Av­o­cat Vil­lage, Fyz­abad, was ques­tioned by po­lice. San Fer­nan­do po­lice are con­tin­u­ing in­ves­ti­gat­ing.
