Tragedy struck on Saturday in Tobago, when a vehicle with two elderly people plunged into a river in Richmond, leaving one woman dead.
Majorie Orr was the front seat passenger of the vehicle driven by her husband 78 year old Thomas Orr.
They were proceeding along Richmond Orchard Drive when at the intersection of Windward Road, the vehicle stopped to allow another vehicle to proceed.
However, both moved off simultaneously resulting in the vehicles colliding. The impact pushed Orr’s vehicle into the Richmond river.
The couple was removed from the vehicle by passers by and taken to the Roxborough Hospital where Mrs. Orr was pronounced dead.
