FOLLOWING the fatal accident on Monday, April 20, 2015 on the Providence Public Road, East Bank Demerara, which resulted in the death of Randai Soodath, 75, of Lot 159 First Street, Herstelling, Traffic Chief Ian Amsterdam says even though their investigations are incomplete, the errant truck driver may be charged for dangerous driving.

Soodath was attempting to cross the Providence Public Road around 14:11hrs, placing herself into the path of a sand-laden truck when it struck her down and subsequently ran over her right leg.

At the time the driver said that he did not see the elderly woman and it was only after the truck had crushed her leg that he was alerted by passersby.

Soodath was rushed to the Diamond Hospital, but given the severity of her injury, she was transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital,where her right leg was deemed beyond repair and doctors were forced to amputate it.

The woman had slipped in and out of consciousness until she passed away on Wednesday last at about 08:10 hrs.

The elderly friend who Soodath was on her way to visit at Mocha- Arcadia, having heard of her tragic demise is in much disbelief and distress and is unable to come to grips with her friend’s sudden death, since they had been friends since childhood.
