"My son and another friend were coming out of the yard opposite Kwik Bargains when my son was hit by this speeding jeep. Persons on the scene told me that the woman was drinking in Pointe Blanche and she was probably heading home when she killed Jasias."
Ramsahoye said she is also trying to find out where exactly her adopted son died because bystanders told her when the ambulance picked her son up on the road he was still breathing but when he reached the St. Maarten Medical Center, health professionals there hesitated to treat him as they wanted his health insurance or deposit first. Ramsahoye said when she reached the hospital Friday night the police informed her that her son had died, but on Saturday morning the hospital authorities asked her if she knew where her son died.
Jasias was an employee of Kooyman Mega Store in Cay Hill; his mother said the young man had been working at Kooyman since attending school at the Milton Peters College.
In the meantime, other persons who witnessed the fatal accident said that the scooter Hodge was riding at the time of the accident did not have any lights and the driver might not have seen him as she was driving down Bush Road.
Police Spokesman Ricardo Henson confirmed the death of the young man but said he did not have any details on the accident or the victim.
