THE family and friends of 19-year-old Kavish Persad are mourning his untimely passing in a fatal car accident late on August 19, a day after receiving his highly anticipated CAPE results. He is remembered as a bright young man with a promising future.

Reports are Persad, of Mahelal Street, Aranguez, was driving his white Hyundai Ioniq when he lost control of the car while trying to overtake another car. He crashed into the car before careening off the highway and slamming into the Beetham water main. His car then launched into the air before landing in the nearby Laventille River.

Earlier, Persad’s father, Pundit Maniedeo Persad, paid tribute to Kavish on social media, congratulating him on his CAPE results, which included five Grade Is and one Grade II.
