The journalism family of the Turks and Caicos Islands was thrown into a state of mourning as former WIV reporter and photo-journalist Nichelle Farrington succumbed to her injuries on Sunday night in Providenciales after she was involved in a vehicular accident.
Reports reaching RTC state that it was just after 5 p.m. when the accident occurred on the South Dock Road with Farrington being severely injured.
Farrington is best known for her investigative reporting pieces and was even attached to NBC in the United States as an understudy. Her friends described her as a positive person and a lover of the spoken word as she often broadcast her poems and rap verses on You Tube and other social media.
