Child killed by drunk drag racing Army Officer
A Guyana Defence Force Second Lieutenant was detained last night by police after the car he was driving struck down a 13 year old boy, killing him on the spot at Airy Hall, Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara.
The accident occurred around 19:30 hours. The dead youth’s name was given as Troy Fraser.
Reports reaching this newspaper indicate that the soldier and two policemen along with another civilian were racing in four cars when the army officer lost control of his vehicle as he was negotiating a treacherous turn and slammed into Fraser who was walking along the parapet.
According to eyewitnesses, the impact sent the child flying several feet into the air, before he landed on the roadway not far from his home.
The sound of the crash had his relatives running onto the road only to shockingly discover that it was Fraser.
Kaieteur News understands that a breathalyzer test conducted on the army officer found him to be over the allowed limit of alcohol consumption.
