When seven-year-old Angelica Jogie took her last breath after being struck by a rogue jet ski at the Pigeon Point Heritage Park last Wednesday, she became the latest in a sizeable list of deaths and injuries as a result of watercraft incidents in Trinidad and Tobago.
A near identical incident occurred at the very same beach in 2007 that left a teen victim paralysed.
That was nearly two decades ago in 2007, when a pirogue ploughed through the same waters in Pigeon Point, running over then 17-year-olds Yanik Quesnel and his girlfriend, Spanish national Ana Carolina Barry-Laso, who were in Tobago on vacation.
