According to information gathered by this publication, yesterday at approximately 06:30 hrs, Stanley was reportedly crossing the public road when he was hit. It is understood that a 53-year-old driver (from Linden) of motorcar PWW 5995 and a 59-year-old driver (from Section ‘C’ Enterprise, ECD) of motor PXX 3821, were proceeding west along the southern side of the thoroughfare at an extremely fast rate when Stanley crossed from north to south into the path of the two speeding cars.
