Former national footballer Carlyle Hunte and his grandson, Malique Roberts died in an accident along the Linden-Soesdyke Highway yesterday afternoon.

The accident, which occurred shortly after 4:00 pm, involved Hunte’s vehicle and a lumber truck. Two other grandchildren who were also in the vehicle survived the collision but are currently hospitalized in serious condition at the Mackenzie Hospital.

Carl Hunte, as he was affectionately known, was a well-regarded figure in Linden, celebrated not only for his contributions to football but also for his presence within the community.
