Hero mom killed by drunk driver!

[turbosingh]

Mother of four, Denyse Seepersad-Joseph, died a hero on Independence Day, when she threw her daughter out of her arms as a speeding car slammed into them.
Seepersad-Joseph, 39, was struck by the vehicle and died at the scene. Her four-year-old daughter Abigail was saved.
Little Abigail was being treated at the San Fernando General Hospital for minor injuries last evening.
The child’s father, Richard Joseph, said his wife lived for their four children.
“Everyone is saying that she threw the child out of her arms to safety. She was a kind, loving person. She lived only for her children. She was actively involved in the church,” he said.
Seepersad-Joseph, a housewife, was visiting relatives at Palmyra Village, near San Fernando when the incident occurred around 7.30 p.m.
Police said Seepersad-Joseph parked her Volkswagen Bora car on the roadway and was taking her daughter out of the vehicle.
Seepersad-Joseph, of Brother’s Road, New Grant, was struck by a yellow Nissan Laurel car. The driver never stopped.
Police said Abigail was flung from her mother’s arms at the side of the roadway. Her mother was crushed by the car.
The accident was witnessed by Seepersad-Joseph’s four children—Jason, 13, Charissa, nine, Ana, six, and Abigail.
Richard Joseph said, “My wife and kids were visiting relatives. Her father, brother, sister-in-law and their kids were with her at the time. I understand she parked the car and was taking out our daughter when they were hit.”
Joseph said he was at work in Point Fortin when relatives called with the news. “I went to the hospital. My wife was already dead. Abigail was being treated by doctors,” he said.
Police said the child was not seriously injured.
Relatives said Seepersad-Joseph’s children were distraught and unable to come to terms with their mother’s death.
Investigators said a 44-year-old Palmyra resident walked into the San Fernando Police Station shortly after the incident. The man told police he “knocked down something” on the road.
Police said a breathalyser test was administered on the driver and he failed. The driver was detained by police and is expected to be charged with the offence.
Seepersad-Joseph’s body was removed to the San Fernando General Hospital mortuary, where an autopsy is expected to be performed today

yuh know I read something a while back that in d US with some drunk drivers they make them sign something saying they acknowledge that DUI is reckless endangerment so that if they go and drive drunk again and kill someone- they get charged with murder!

Where is the facebook outrage like last week?

The media not all over this quoting the DUI laws over n over?

Nah man, poor media again.

[hustla_ambition101]

I have a few questions though.....was she standing on the road taking the child out of the vehicle to the traffic side? Also was the area a savannah or something for viewing fireworks? Too often people put themselves in danger and end up suffering dire consequences, I am not defending the drunk driver just curious as to the area the incident happened.

Most likely she did it dangerously. But maybe a sober driver could have avoided her/stop.
Her coming out and holding a child to be far out enough to get hit should be more than enough reaction time. I wasn't there though.

why yuh hoping he have links?

It's a figure of speech criticizing both his actions and the flawed system we have.

[DFC]

Its sad.

DUI should be a jailable offence.

I see real muffler bearing driving everyday on the highway. Where is the highway police?

I honestly think the highway police division is only about 2cops.
That's the most you will ever see.

[~Vēġó~]

very sad....know some of her relatives.

not to trivialize the loss but how come relatives/community not burning tyres demanding jostiss?

Sad indeed...we would never know just how much.

And the same goes for me. Anytime coming off the roads now, no matter just a side street or highway, I am grateful for reaching wherever I am going safely.
