Four-year-old killed by speeding car

Jun 27, 2013 News

A four-year-old child was added to the list of Guyana’s road fatalities last Tuesday when she was struck down by a car on the Plantation Foulis Public Road, West Coast Berbice.
Trechel Williams, of Foulis, was pronounced dead at the Mahaicony Cottage Hospital where she was rushed immediately after the accident.
Police yesterday revealed that around 08:10 hours on Tuesday the driver of a motor car was proceeding along the roadway allegedly at a fast rate, and collided with the pedestrian. She was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Speaking to the newspaper via telephone last night, Bevon Bobb, the dead child’s mother said that her children had just left the house for school when tragedy struck.
“I called them back for some money. Her brother came in the yard and collect it while she left standing near de bridge. By time I turn away, I hear blam! I didn’t see wha knock she,” Bobb related.
She explained that she immediately ran out onto the road in a state of panic, even dropping her four- month old baby she was holding at the time, in the grass.
“She father de done grab she up but he get blackout. I tek she and when he (father) catch heself, he ask me if is dead she dead and I tell he ‘Oh God, Trechel dead’; he get blackout again and fall in de trench. Dey had to pull he out,” an inconsolable Bobb told this newspaper.
“I start fuh run up and down de road with she because nobody ain’t helping. I didn’t even know whey I de going,” the woman added.
It was a neighbour who eventually volunteered to take her to the Mahaicony Hospital four miles away with her mortally injured daughter but by then there was nothing that doctors there could do.
“I didn’t even see who is de driver until I come from de hospital,” Bevon Bobb told this newspaper.
Kaieteur News understands that the car that struck down Trechel Williams ended up in a trench.
The driver is in police custody assisting with the investigations.
