Che Lewis: Dead Man Drive Could Attract Fine Of Up To $1000 In Trinidad
Lewis, 29, and his father Adlay Lewis, 49, were shot and killed on November 15 at their home at First Trace, Bagatelle Road, Diego Martin.
According to Trinidad Express, Lewis was embalmed into a sitting position, placed in the tray of a hearse and given an open-air last ride past the Office of the Prime Minister on the way to his funeral by Dennie's Funeral Home and driven around Port of Spain on Wednesday.
TTPS Road Safety Co-ordinator Brent Batson told Express via a What's App message that the funeral home's manner of transporting the deceased will be investigated.
Batson said, "The TTPS is disappointed in the reckless behavior engaged in by a funeral home being circulated on social media whereby persons were seen seated in the vehicle tray seemingly as part of a funeral procession. Carrying persons in a dangerous manner is an offence Regulation 38 Rule 17 of the Motor Vehicle Road Traffic Act (MVRTA) with a $1,000 penalty and the TTPS will be continuing investigation into funeral company's conduct on the road.
