An 18-year-old girl was killed on Saturday night after she was struck from behind by a minibus while cycling on the Schonard, West Bank Demerara Public Road.
Tenisha Hudson, of 63 Pouderoyen West Bank Demerara, was reportedly going to visit her father, who lives at La Grange, West Bank Demerara.
A police press release stated that the minibus driver was attempting to pass another vehicle when he struck Hudson, who was cycling in the same direction.
The injured teen was taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital but was later transferred to the Georgetown Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Hospital sources said she succumbed from massive head injuries.
The driver of the minibus was detained and is likely to be charged.
Hudson is the fourth of seven children.
Hudson’s relatives said that she left home at around 18:30 hrs and a neighbour called them some time later and informed them that the teen was involved in an accident.
“We neighbour call we and tell we that de police call them and saying that Tenisha reach in an accident and we rush to the hospital”.
According to Hudson’s aunt Lynette Mentor, the police told them that they are looking for another person who Tenisha was reportedly towing at the time of the accident.
But the aunt opined that if indeed another person was on the bike that person would also have been injured.
Mentore described Tenisha as a loving, willing and understanding person who didn’t deserve to die in this manner.
