With a mere 11 more days before the year ends, the country’s road fatality figure seems to have a race with time as yet another pedestrian lost his life as a result of an accident.
Forty-one year old Razeem Khan, of Lesbeholden, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, was killed by an out-of-control tractor on the Lesbeholden Public Road around 06:30 hours yesterday.
According to the police, investigations revealed that the tractor was proceeding along the roadway and was in the process of negotiating a turn, when it is alleged that the steering wheel malfunctioned and the driver lost control of the vehicle which struck Khan.
From all indications, Khan died on the spot.
The driver of the tractor is in police custody assisting with the investigations.
