Six Trinidadians Killed In Car Crash In The Us
I cannot even imagine the pain the parents of these children are going through. We are talking about losing 5 children! As well as a family friend (sixth victim). My deepest condolences to the Gopaul Family. I hope Mr. Gopaul recovers soon after having this heart attack.

| Kenny Gopaul suffered a heart attack and collapsed at his South Trinidad home after learning that his children were killed in a road accident in the United States. And the family of five of the six Trinidadians killed in the fiery accident in Virginia may have to wait as long as three weeks before they can bury their relatives. Gopaul, 62, a mechanic who lives at Princes Town, was flanked by other relatives at his Ward 12 bed at the San Fernando General Hospital. All he would say was: "I am not in a state of mind to give a comment." Cousin of the five Gopaul siblings killed in the accident, Yasmin Mohammed-Mills, said the family members were told by authorities that the bodies would not be handed over until investigations were completed. A distraught Mills said their family had been suffering and struggling to cope since they learnt of the accident that claimed the lives of their relatives. Siblings Petrina 25, Anthony, 21, Rawlins, 16, Anderson, 13, and Jessica Gopaul, 11, of Bronx, New York, along with a family friend (not yet identified) were driving along Route 58 on Tuesday afternoon when their Honda Accord flipped a median and collided with a truck. Eyewitnesses were able to pull Anderson Gopaul out of the wreckage before it burst into flames. He died later. Reports say police used a piece of identification found at the scene to contact relatives in New York. "Our family is traumatised and it's only getting worse for us," said Mills. Mills who lives in Pennsylvania said family had been pouring in from Trinidad to lend support since they learnt of the accident on Wednesday night. Mills said the mother of the siblings, Pamela Ramharrack, has been in a state of shock. |
