"I heard the big noise there and everything so I came out and see and I saw and the guy was in the accident and the men who fell on the pavement."
"When I really came out I saw the guy who was in the vehicle he was just coming out of the vehicle and he just claim, I never saw them and I said that is terrible because I am seeing two people on the ground and they are not moving."
The driver of pickup is Caribbean Motors manager Gregory Mosser, he was also on his way home. When we visited the Ramos family, they were gathered outside still trying to come to terms with this tremendous loss.

"It was shocking because I know they were coming home from work and they were hard working. And they are poor families and they have a lot of kids so."
Now the family is calling on Mosser to help them since the two bread winners are gone.
Carmen Ramos, Wife/Mother
"I want there to be justice because it is hard leaving my kids without a father, and without my husband and without my son. For me it is very hard. I ask that there is justice and that he helps us because my kids are still young."
Manuel Ramos leaves behind 4 kids and his son Jaime leaves behind 2 young baby girls.
