Boy, 12, is latest road fatality
A 12-year-old boy was fatally struck down by a Canter truck, GPP 6830, around 06:00 hrs last evening at D’Urban and Camp Streets, Georgetown.
Dead is Junior Cameron of Lot 40 West Ruimveldt, Squatting Area, Georgetown.
According to the dead boy’s brother, they were riding to their father in Albert Street, when the Canter appeared from nowhere and struck his brother off his bicycle.
“Me and he was riding (separate bicycles) and I tell he fah ride in the corner and he tell me that he can ride wherever he want to ride. Then I see the Canter come and knock he down and it went on he face.”
The visually shaken lad said that his brother’s face was covered in blood and it was unrecognizable.
The Central High School student was immediately rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation by the same Canter truck which struck him but by then it was too late.
The driver of the canter was immediately taken into Police Custody and is said to be at the Brickdam Police Station.
Traffic ranks from Brickdam, who were at the hospital last evening prevented Kaieteur News from talking with the 12-year-old boy’s mother. They took her away to the station.
