DAYMON Barron, 43, a minibus driver who was riding a bicycle along the roadway at Rosignol Village, West Bank Berbice, was knocked down and killed by a policeman driving a privately-owned vehicle last Saturday evening.
Reports are that Barron was riding his bicycle south along the public road when the vehicle driven by the policeman hit him from behind.
Barron was flung several feet away by the impact of the hit and was picked up in an unconscious condition.

He was rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital but was subsequently transferred to the Georgetown Hospital Corporation, where he succumbed to his injuries early Sunday morning.

A report from the Police Public Relations Department said the constable, stationed at Fort Wellington, was proceeding south along the eastern carriageway in motorcar PWW 5999 allegedly at a fast rate of speed when it collided with the rear of the bicycle.

The policeman was tested but was found not to have any alcohol on his breath.
Relatives said Barron of 103 William Street, Rosignol, was a minibus driver who had lodged the minibus at the home of the owner at a neighbouring village around 1830 hrs on Saturday and was cycling home at the time of the accident.

He leaves to mourn his wife and four children between ages 18 to eight years.
The policeman, who was off duty at the time of the accident, is under close arrest as an investigation into the collision continues.
