A night drive ended in tragedy after 19-year-old Kavish Persad collided with a car on the Beetham Highway, Laventille, on Tuesday night.
Police said Persad was driving a white Hyundai Ionic on the eastbound lane of the highway at around 10 pm, when he tried to overtake a brown Mitsubishi vehicle.
Persad instead collided with the back of the car, causing him to veer off the road and crash into the Beetham Water Main, which sent his car airborne before it crashed into a drain.
