FOUR months after 23-year-old Terry Danraj was killed following a fatal accident at Saffon and Sussex Streets, Georgetown, a 22-year-old truck driver was, on Wednesday, arraigned.
Eric Kennedy of West Ruimveldt appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and pleaded not guilty to the charge.

It is alleged that Kennedy, on May 25, while being the driver of a motor truck with a trailer, drove in a dangerous manner which caused the death of Danraj.

Kennedy, who was represented by attorney-at-law Bernard DaSliva, was released on $300,000 bail and the case adjourned to October 7.
The Guyana Chronicle was made to understand that on May 25, 2020, around 21:00 hours, Danraj was a passenger in motor car PSS 1314, which was being driven by a 26-year-old resident of Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara.

The vehicle was reportedly proceeding north at a fast rate when it collided with the trailer of a container truck at the intersection of Sussex and Saffon Streets.
The front of the motor car was pinned under the trailer. Danraj was also pinned down.

Danraj, who was unconscious, along with the motor car driver, were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital. They were both admitted.
However, around 13:30 on May 26, Danraj succumbed to his injuries.
