Endless accidents claim lives. There were six more this week: Salim Sreeneebus, Mamade Farhaz Emamdee, Bhagwanteea Seebaluck, Jacques Désiré Azenor, Muslim and Lim Yoon Ooze.

Sreeneebus Salim, who had 45 years to blow candles on September 12, died in a road accident Saturday, September 24. He was overthrown by an all-terrain 19.50 on the road Palma, Quatre-Bornes. He was taken to Victoria Hospital by the ambulance, where his death was found, a quarter of an hour later by the nursing staff. As the driver of the vehicle involved, who is 43 years old and lives in Eau Coulee, he was arrested by police in Quatre-Bornes.

Monaf Sreeneebus, 78, is a man overwhelmed. The fate hounds his family since the beginning of the year. After the death of his wife Farida, 66, last January, now he loses his son Salim in tragic circumstances. "I was afraid to tell her the news," said Nazim, 39, her daughter. The latter, who manages a snack in the region, is the first to be rushed to the scene of the tragedy, on hearing the news. "He was still breathing when I arrived," she says. She was taken to hospital in a police vehicle. "Fifteen minutes after my arrival, I was told that Salim had passed away," she says. 

In Saint-Antoine
