Two days have passed since the tragic death of 35-year-old Sewcharran Persaud Ugraj, a truck driver  of 162 Mon Repos  Pasture, East Coast Demerara, who was killed by a motorist on Sheriff Street, at around 04:30hrs Sunday morning.
His grieving family members are still in a state of shock at the unexpected passing of their loved one, described as a loving and supportive son, husband, and father.
The victim’s father, Sahadeo Ugraj, speaking to the Guyana Chronicle yesterday  explained  that a post mortem performed yesterday revealed that his son died from multiple  injuries sustained as a result of the impact.
As to how the family is coping at this time, the grieving father said that they are doing all that they can to get through the next few days.
‘We are trying to hold it together for now,” Ugraj said.
According to a press release issued by the Police Public Relations Office, on Sunday, the driver of motorcar PMM 1094 was allegedly driving at a fast rate when he lost control of the vehicle and struck down Sewcharran who was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The driver was tested with the use of the breathalyzer and his alcohol content at the time was found to be over the legal limit, the release added.
The motorcar, allegedly driven by Delano Williams, was headed north along Sheriff Street when the driver lost control and swerved into Sewcharran, who was standing on the opposite side of the road, near Angee’s Boutique.
Mr. Ugraj explained that his son would be cremated at the Good Hope Crematorium on Thursday at 13:00hrs.
Meanwhile, Williams is still in police custody assisting with the on-going investigations.
