The 22-year-old former Special Forces Squadron soldier of Alexander Village, Georgetown was standing in front of the night club when a speeding minibus struck him down.

The vehicle was reportedly driven by a 31-year-old resident of Schoonard, West Bank Demerara and at the time was proceeding south along the eastern carriageway allegedly at a fast rate.

The 22-year old, according to his family was in the company of a few friends when the accident occurred.

The soldier was dragged some distance away by the speeding vehicle.

Police said his alcohol level, when tested, was found to be above the legal limit.
Lance Corporal Dodson was rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital by public-spirited persons but was subsequently transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he succumbed.
