Guyanese man Rabindra Sawh died on the Staten Island Expressway, New York after the SUV he was in struck a guard rail on October 23.
According to www.silive.com, a group of friends were on their way home from a cruise along the Hudson River when the driver of the packed SUV lost control and struck a guard rail on the Staten Island Expressway near Victory Boulevard.
Sawh, 45, of Jersey City, N.J., was pronounced dead at the scene following the 5:10 a.m. crash.
The report said that Sawh’s wife of 17 years, Tajwattie, who emigrated with her husband from Guyana in 1984, said she could not believe what had happened.
“I went to the hospital looking for him, thinking he was alive,” she said. “The last time I talked to him he was telling me how nice the cruise was and that next time he would take me.”
The report said that the driver, Nigel Saiboo, 45, also of Jersey City, was arrested and charged with reckless assault. A police spokeswoman said Saiboo was charged after the NYPD’s Accident Investigation Squad determined “his driving led to the death of his passenger.”
