A teenager died in a road traffic accident along Edward Trace, Basse Terre, Moruga, at 3am on Sunday.
The Moruga Secondary School student, whose name has not been released, had been at his grandmother’s home when a friend arrived and picked him up.
According to relatives, the driver earlier pulled the vehicle’s owner from the driver’s seat and took control while the car was parked outside Rampersad’s Bar in Basse Terre.
They said the group was heading along Edward Trace to drop someone off when the driver allegedly lost control of the speeding vehicle, causing it to leave the road.
The teenager died at the scene, while the driver remains hospitalised.
Investigations continue.
