A MAN was killed in a traffic accident in Abaco just before Father’s Day, leaving behind a heartbroken daughter and loved ones.
Villard Fenelus, 43, was driving home after playing pool with friends when tragedy struck around 11pm on SC Bootle Highway in Treasure Cay.
Police said a white Ford F-250 was travelling west, and a white Suzuki Carry with two occupants was travelling east when the two vehicles collided.
The passenger of the Suzuki exited the vehicle but the driver was trapped and had to be extricated with the Jaws of Life. He died of his injuries on the scene.
His daughter said on Facebook: “God knows I wasn’t ready for you to leave me, no on Father’s Day. You will always be in my heart, and I love you so much.”
Fenelus’ death was the fourth traffic fatality in a week.
On Friday, another man died after being struck while attempting to cross the street at the intersection of Jackfish Drive and Carmichael Road.
Chief Superintendent of Police Chrislyn Skippings told reporters that a black Dodge Ram truck was travelling east on Carmichael Road when the male pedestrian attempted to cross from the street’s southern side to the northern side.
On Wednesday, 35-year-old mother Robyn Benicourt was reportedly getting out of a Suzuki jeep on her way to visit a relative when she was fatally struck by a passing car.
Another traffic accident claimed the life of a woman on Long Island on June 9. That accident happened on Queen’s Highway when a black Ford Ranger was heading south and a white Honda Stream, driven by a female, was heading north; the two vehicles collided.

It is interesting to see the difference between the quality of drivers here, and those in the U.S. While I wouldn't want to live there, some things seem to work, and we must ask ourselves why.
