Sep 27, 2009 News

Several city residents watched in horror as a 29-year old man was crushed after he threw himself under a moving double axle truck around midday yesterday.
Earland Hinds was killed on the spot after the rear wheels of the truck crushed his head.
The incident took place on Water Street just outside the City Constabulary Training Centre.
Eyewitnesses said that Hinds had indicated that he was going to take his own life but they had no idea that he would have chosen that way to die.
Kaieteur News understands that Hinds had had an altercation with a Tiger Bay man who chopped him in his head.
According to a female eyewitness, Hinds had pelted the man’s son and the man retaliated violently.
“We take him and wrapped his head to prevent the bleeding. We were pulling him from the middle of the road but he keep pulling away. He run out back to the middle of the road and a truck was passing. When the truck front wheel passed, he push heself under the back wheel,” the woman said.
“He told us before that he was going to do that, so we were trying to prevent him from doing that. That is why we took him inside the Constabulary. But then I tell them don’t worry with him, because he delirious because of the wound to he head,” the woman added.
When the truck stopped a short distance away, Hinds’ body lay sprawled in the middle of the road causing several motorists and other passersby to stop and stare in disbelief.
The porter of the truck confirmed that Hinds threw himself under the truck.
“We passin’ and we see he stand up and de man skin full a blood. By time we pass and I look back in de rear view, de man done roll under de axle,” the porter told Kaieteur News.
The dead man’s brother-in-law, Martin Henry, informed this newspaper that Hinds is originally from Mabaruma, Region One.
He said that Hinds who is mentally challenged has no fixed place of abode.
According to Henry, Hinds apparently became fed up with life and decided to end his misery.
“The man fed up with how people does treat he, man. People used to tek advantage pon he, you know. It rough,” Henry stated.
The driver of the truck was detained.
