The Pub­lic Trans­port Ser­vice Cor­po­ra­tion (PTSC) has ground­ed the dri­ver in­volved in a fa­tal ac­ci­dent in Port-of-Spain, pend­ing the out­come of on­go­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions.

The dri­ver, who was on du­ty at the time, will not be as­signed any du­ties un­til in­quiries are com­plete. PTSC con­firmed he has not been sus­pend­ed, as he is re­quired to co­op­er­ate with both in­ter­nal and ex­ter­nal probes.

The ac­ci­dent oc­curred ear­ly Wednes­day at the cor­ner of Park and Hen­ry Streets, claim­ing the life of 19-year-old Lysanne Julien. Po­lice re­port­ed that around 3.45 am, Julien was a pas­sen­ger in a Hon­da Vezel trav­el­ling east along Park Street when it col­lid­ed with a bus head­ing north along Hen­ry Street.
