Kaieteur News – A fifth form (Grade Eleven [11]) student of Camille’s Academy was on Wednesday afternoon struck down by a speeding driver while walking on a pedestrian crossing along the Public Road at Diamond, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
The student was reportedly in the company of two of her teachers when the accident occurred. Kaieteur News was told that the accident occurred sometime after 16:00hrs. One eyewitness said that it appeared as if the driver were racing with another. “She was almost across the road and he came till over in the corner and knocked her down”, the eyewitness said.
