Third Guyanese killed on Antigua roads for 2015
(Antigua Observer) Hundreds of residents who all claimed they knew the country’s latest road fatality victim personally, gathered on the scene of his death on Sunday evening in shock and disbelief.
Dead: Troy Pereira
Troy Pereira, 35, died after he reportedly lost control of his Suzuki GSX motor cycle, license plate number A25099, on which he was travelling west to east on the All Saints Road.
Police said the father of two — an eight year-old boy and a three year-old girl — fell from the black motor cycle just opposite his La Pasture home, at about 5:30 pm, making him the country’s seventh road fatality for 2015.
A doctor, who arrived on the scene at about 6:10 pm, pronounced the Guyanese native and former Courts Antigua employee dead.
Police say they will continue to investigate the matter.
In January, construction worker, 51 year-old Guyanese Murtland Bagot, lost his life on the Sir Sydney Walling Highway after being thrown from a truck, which collided with another vehicle.
One month later, 46-year-old Caroline Tobin-Jean-Baptiste, also of Guyana, was struck down while crossing All Saints Road.
