Eccles hit-and-run leaves one dead, vendor hospitalised

Aug 13, 2015 News

A hit-and-run crash along the Eccles Public Road, East Bank Demerara late last evening has resulted in the death of an unidentified female and the hospitalisation of a Bourda Market vendor.
Injured is Erwin Whittington, 35, of First Street, Alberttown, Georgetown.
Reports are that around 23:00 hours, Whittington was riding his motorbike, heading south along the Eccles Public Road. The woman was the pillion rider.
As the vehicle advanced towards the intersection at the traffic light, a red Starlet (motorcar) reportedly drove out from a street on the eastern side and collided with the Wittington and his companion, knocking them off the bike.
Kaieteur News understands that the driver of the car did not heed the stop signal.  After hitting the two, the driver sped away. The two were picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
The woman was pronounced dead on arrival.
