A 40-year-old man from Tunapuna tragically lost his life in a fiery crash on Churchill Roosevelt Highway.

The incident occurred shortly before 5 a.m. on Thursday 4th June, 2026, near the BM Electronics Warehouse.
In the horrifying moments that followed the crash, the vehicle became engulfed in flames. Small, who was alone in the car, was trapped inside and unable to escape. By the time emergency responders arrived on the scene, the vehicle had been entirely consumed by flames.
