AN autopsy conducted on the body of Andrew Jagmohan, who was killed last Wednesday in an accident at Wiki Creek Landing Backdam, Berbice, has indicated that he died as a result of multiple injuries. Reports indicate that the 34-year-old man of Crabwood Creek, Skeldon, Berbice, was the driver of motor truck #GFF 7662, which was transporting logs.
Police reported that Jagmohan was driving uphill when he encountered mechanical problems at around 18:15 hours.
As a result, the lorry began to roll backwards causing one of the logs to hit a tree; the log then became forced into the cabin of the truck and pinned Jagmohan to the steering wheel.
Ivan Martin, a porter in the truck, rushed Jagmohan to the Kwakwani Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The body was subsequently taken to the Kwakwani Hospital Mortuary.
