Two motorcyclists died after a fatal collision along the Solomon Hochoy Highway, near the Brentwood Mall in Chaguanas yesterday.
The accident occurred around 3.30 pm while Renee Roach, 36, of Freeport, was driving her Toyota Axio southbound.
Roach, who had her two children, aged five months and four years, in the vehicle, told Guardian Media that one motorcycle crashed into the rear of her car, causing both the motorcycle and her vehicle to catch fire.
The deceased, Levi Joseph, 25, who was riding a Yamaha R1, died at the scene.
Roach and her children survived the collision.
A second motorcyclist, identified as Nicholas Bandoo, collided with a Haval SUV as he tried to avoid the first crash. He later died at the Chaguanas Health Centre.
According to reports, Joseph was riding with a group of bikers shortly before the crash.
The incident brought traffic to a crawl, with vehicles backed up along both the northbound and southbound lanes of the highway.
Chaguanas police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision.
