He was rushed to the Skeldon Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The now-dead man reportedly left home earlier in the evening and told his wife that he was going to Number 64 Village to have a few beers with friends. The accident occurred while he was heading back home.
Meanwhile, in 2017, his sister 28-year-old Shabana Ali, died under similar circumstances. The car she was driving at the time slammed into a utility pole at Palmyra killing her instantly.
