Pedestrian killed after colliding with speeding car

Dec 15, 2025 News

(Kaieteur News) – Police are investigating a fatal road accident that occurred at about 04:10 hrs on Sunday along the Orangestein Public Road, East Bank Essequibo.

The incident involved motor car PAB 2332, driven by a 25-year-old man of Meten-Meer-Zorg, West Coast Demerara, and a male pedestrian, whose identity remains unknown.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the car was travelling east along the northern side of the roadway at an alleged fast rate when the pedestrian, who was also walking east on the same side, reportedly ran across the road from north to south, directly into the vehicle’s path, police said in a report.

The driver reportedly attempted to swerve to avoid a collision, but the front left side of the car struck the pedestrian, causing the vehicle to veer off the roadway and end up in the southern trench. The pedestrian sustained multiple injuries and was taken to the De Kinderen Regional Hospital in an unconscious state, where he was pronounced dead on arrival by the attending doctor. The body was later taken to the Ezekiel Funeral Home, where it is awaiting a post-mortem examination. A breathalyzer test conducted on the driver showed no trace of alcohol. He remains in police custody as investigations continue.
