On March 14, at approximately 11: 30hrs, Ram and his seven-year-old brother, Komal, were accompanied by their uncle, Michael Plass, to a shop obliquely opposite their Lot 1088, Tuschen residence, to purchase a ball to play cricket when he was struck by a silver-coloured Toyota Premio bearing the number plate PVV 5084.
The car was driven by a woman identified as Grace Alves, from the same area.
The toddler was rushed to the Leonora Diagnostic Centre and was subsequently transferred to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, where he succumbed a few hours later.

The female driver and the car were taken into custody, but according to Commander of ‘D’ Division, Leslie James, the woman was subsequently placed on $20,000 station bail.
When asked if she will be charged, Commander James told the Guyana Chronicle that the police have received conflicting reports as to how the accident occurred. He said two witnesses reported that the child ran into the path of the car while another witness stated otherwise.
