Parents fear driver would escape charges

The parents of a 14-year-old girl, whose left hand was broken after a speeding vehicle struck her down on the Soesdyke- Linden highway, is pleading with the police to treat this case as a normal one and make sure that the culprit is punished.
On Wednesday last, Leticia Jettoo, of Soesdyke, was on her way home from school when a speeding car, heading to Georgetown struck her and drove away.
The teen was treated at the Diamond Diagnostic Center and sent away. A passerby, who witnessed the accident, followed the culprit and forced him to report to the Yarrowcabra Police Outpost.
At the Police Outpost, the person identified himself as a Minister’s driver. He was subsequently placed on $20,000 station bail.
The teen’s mother, Sherry Jettoo, said that the Minister’s driver is claiming that he did not realize that he had hit someone on the highway.
“He said that he didn’t know he hit someone but his left side mirror broke,” the teen’s mother lamented.
The driver is to be placed before court next week.
