According to reports, the accident occurred sometime around 18:30hrs that day and involved motorcar PXX 1989 (a white Toyota 212), owned and driven by Daniel James, a 28-year-old from Mackenzie, Linden.
Police said, the driver related that he was heading north along the western side of the road when he saw a man sitting on the road in his lane.

His body, the police said, is at the hospital’s mortuary awaiting a post mortem examination. Police related that a breathalyzer test was conducted on the driver, but no trace of alcohol was found in his breath. The driver was placed in custody, assisting with the investigation.
