IN THE SPACE of a little more than 24 hours, another young Barbadian man has lost his life.
Windell Williams, 30, of Fairview, Christ Church, was killed yesterday around 12:25 a.m. when he was struck by a vehicle driven by Michael Worrell, 37, of Orange Hill, St James, while attending to a broken down truck on the Arch Hall section of the Ronald Mapp Highway in St Thomas.
His close-knit family gathered at his home to offer comfort to his mother Pamela Haynes at the loss of her youngest child.
Police reported that Williams was travelling with Jamar Chase, 19, who suffered a broken left ankle and head injuries, and an unidentified man who escaped injury.
Haynes said the three were trying to push-start the truck when the accident occurred. (CA)
