Rahul Maheshwari, the young medical student involved in a one-car crash near his school this morning has died.
Mount St John’s Medical Centre confirmed time of death as 10:17 am.
After he lost control of the car he was driving, the young male student of the American University of Antigua (Medical School) was taken to hospital with what appeared to be serious head injuries.
The crash took place just in front of the school on Jabberwock Main Road at about 9:30 this morning.
Medical students on the scene were warning their colleagues not to look because of the amount of blood on the lone occupant of the car.
One of the people helping him was also heard to say that he was completely unresponsive just after the crash but that he had marginally improved while the ambulances were en route.
Later, fellow students were telling the Emergency Medical Technicians EMTs on the scene to hurry as they were losing his pulse, meaning that it had grown very faint.
The left front portion of the vehicle’s roof was pushed in, but the EMTs were able to gingerly remove the injured man from the car without need for prising the metal away from him.
The student was said to be in his 20s.
