JUST HOURS BEFORE 28-year-old Tito Bradshaw was due to attend his friend’s funeral he became Barbados’ latest road fatality.
Yesterday at around 8:45 a.m., Bradshaw lost control of his motor cycle, which collided with an embankment on Goodland Main Road, St Michael, causing him to die on the spot.
As many gathered at the scene, Bradshaw’s neighbour Ann Morris told the WEEKEND NATION that minutes before the accident, she watched Bradshaw as he struggled to get the motor cycle started at his Second Avenue, Richmond’s Gap, St Michael residence.
“He was home in the yard for about five minutes trying to start that motor cycle and it just wouldn’t start.
I wish I had told him to put down that motor cycle, but the words just wouldn’t come out.
“He left and went at the corner of the gap and he tried starting it again and it did start and he ride and went ’long. But the thing is, he was to go to his friend funeral later on,” said Morris.
While being comforted by loved ones as she cried uncontrollably, Bradshaw’s mother Brenda Sealey said she could not believe that the first of her three children was dead.
“That ain’t Tito; I know that ain’t Tito. Tito gone to come back; I know he gone to come back. . . .I know my Tito gone to come back . . . . My Tito ain’t dead. . . . That ain’t he there lying on the road dead because I know my Tito coming back,” she said as she shed tears for her son, who was the father of four-year-old Tyrese King. (AH)
