Jewel planned to visit the Georgetown Public Hospital maternity clinic as she was 35 weeks pregnant while his son was headed to school.
According to Jewel’s statement, as the minibus they were in was negotiating a turn at Hope, in the vicinity of GTT, another minibus, BAB-6803, heading south and overtaking a line of vehicles was on a collision course with BAD-3857. Upon realising the imminent collision, the woman tried to shield her son and herself and unborn child just as the two vehicles collided.
