Kaieteur News had reported that Inniss, 25, a truck driver of Burma Housing Scheme, Mahaicony, ECD was killed after he was struck by a black Toyota Fielder wagon motorcar. The accident occurred around 04:30hrs last Friday while Inniss was stepping out of a truck he had just parked at Coldingen, ECD in the vicinity of the Chico Ramas gas station.
