Apr 06, 2025 News

Kaieteur News- A 54-year-old woman, identified as Mohandai Persaud of Lusignan Pasture, East Coast Demerara (ECD), lost her life on Friday in an accident on the Lusignan Public Road.

According to a statement from the police, the incident involved “Motor Lorry #GAC 7708, driven by a 46-year-old man from Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo; and pedestrian Mohandai Persaud (now deceased).”

It was revealed during enquiries that, at the time of the accident, the lorry was stationary at the traffic light, facing east in the center lane of the northern carriageway of the Lusignan Public Road, behind a motor car.

“As the traffic light signal changed from red to green and the traffic began to move off, the now-deceased woman attempted to cross the road from north to south and walked into the path of the motor lorry, which collided with her,” police said.

Persaud fell onto the road, and the left front wheel of the lorry ran over her. Public-spirited citizens picked her up in an unconscious state and rushed her to the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Accident and Emergency Unit, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

A breathalyzer test was conducted on the lorry driver, and no trace of alcohol was found on his breath. The driver remains in police custody, assisting with the investigation.
