THE pedestrian who was struck down and killed on the Agricola Public Road, Greater Georgetown on Monday, has been identified as Kevin Monderson, 34, of Tucville Squatting Area, Georgetown.

He was identified by his aunt, Bridget Monderson.
A 33-year-old driver is in police custody after a motor lorry he was driving on the Agricola Public Road, slammed into Monderson.
Police said the accident occurred around 07:10hrs on the Agricola Public Road (eastern carriage way).
Enquiries disclosed that motor lorry, GPP 8215, was proceeding north along the western drive lane of the eastern carriage way of the Agricola Public Road; at that time, the third lane for north bound traffic was activated.

In the vicinity of Agricola, the driver of the motor lorry observed a pedestrian standing on the median facing east of the centre of the two carriage ways and, while the driver of the motor lorry was in the process of passing, the pedestrian, without looking south, walked east into the path of the motor lorry.

As a result of the pedestrian’s action, the front centre portion of the lorry collided with him (pedestrian). He fell onto the roadway and the rear right side wheel ran over both of his legs.
He was subsequently picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation’s Emergency Unit.

There, he was seen and examined by a doctor on duty who treated him for head injuries, internal bleeding and broken feet.
He was admitted as a patient in the critical bay in the Emergency Unit. He later succumbed to his injuries at 07:30 hrs on Tuesday morning.
