Driver flees scene after hitting down KN staffers
The tinted black Nissan Tida.
Kaieteur News – Instead of rendering assistance, the driver of a tinted black Nissan Tida motorcar decided to flee the scene after he struck down two Kaieteur News staffers on Monday.
The incident occurred on the Houston, East Bank Demerara (EBD) public road sometime around 16:45hrs
The staffers, Royden Rockliffe, 30, and Clinton Layne, 23, were at the time on work detail which saw them travelling on a motorcycle along the western carriageway of the public road.
Rockliffe, the rider, said that he felt an impact from behind which caused him to lose control of the bike which, as a result, fell to the road.
Both Rockliffe and his pillion rider, Layne, received injuries and lacerations to the body.
However, instead of stopping to assist the men, the driver sped off, heading presumably to Georgetown.
Nevertheless, the men were assisted by persons nearby who witnessed the accident.
Eyewitnesses detailed that the car was speeding and appeared as if the driver was trying to “beat traffic”. They explained too that the driver appeared as if he was hurrying to follow a police van which was on the road at the time.
The matter has been reported to ranks at the Ruimveldt Police Station.
